In The City October 2017 Volume CLXXII Posing for the Camera A selection of some 60 photographs in the Gallery’s collection made possible by Robert B. Menschel are on view in an exhibition that examines how the act of posing for a portrait changed with the invention of the medium. Featured works come from the early 1840s— just after photography was invented—through the 1990s. The exhibition includes pictures Washington’s First and Only Forbes Five-Star, by Lewis Carroll, Edward Weston, Man Ray, Robert Frank, Timothy H.
