Reconstructing such debate among Company officials and critics from the 1770s to the 1830s, the study makes several further interventions. It argues against what has been perhaps the dominant narrative about Company and British-imperial ideology in this period, a narrative of reorientation from “Orientalist” to “Anglicist” cultural attitudes. It shows instead how the Company shifted from a commercial idiom of sovereignty, concerned with conciliating elites through scholarly patronage, to a territorial idiom, concerned with cultivating popular affection through state-sponsored education.

  • Victorian Giants
    VICTO RIAN GIANTS THE BIRTH OF ART PHOTOGRAPHY Large-Print Label Booklet Please return after use The idea of ‘art photography’ is as old as photography itself, but it was not until the 1850s that the idea began to take hold. Then, the slow and cumbersome Daguerreotype and paper negative processes, both invented around 1839, gave way to a new technology, wet-plate collodion. This enabled photographers to make negatives on glass for the first time. Faster, sharper and more versatile, the new method unleashed a torrent of creativity. It was into this electrifying atmosphere that four photographers would help reinvent photography. While they never formed an official group or association, Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carroll, Lady Clementina Hawarden and Oscar Rejlander had intersecting careers. They exchanged, debated, and experimented with new ways of making photographs, testing the new medium to its limits. As this exhibition reveals, the four artists knew and photographed many of the same people and explored similar themes. Both Carroll and Cameron consulted Rejlander, and they all maintained lasting connections based on shared approaches to portraiture and narrative. Bridging the art of the past and the art of the future, they became true giants of Victorian photography. All photographs are vintage albumen prints from wet-plate collodion negatives unless otherwise described. As Patron of the National Portrait Gallery, and an enthusiastic amateur photographer, I am delighted to support Victorian Giants. This captivating exhibition and the accompanying book bring together works by Julia Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Rejlander and Clementina Hawarden for the first time, to explore the birth of art photography in England.
