Description
In the later 19th century, commercial photographers found multiple avenues for selling photographs beyond the ever-popular portrait. Landscapes, travel photographs, and pictorial fictions were made for an expanding market. Photographers such as John Thomson and Thomas Annan documented the urban poor, while PH. Emerson made artistic photographs in the Norfolk Broads and contributed to debates about the nature of photography. Parallel to commercial photography a group of Pictorialists claimed photography as art. You do not have to have taken Grace’s previous class to enjoy this one.
