Having a portrait made. With the invention of photography, that became possible. Around 1850, it became possible to have a 'cartes de visite' made by a photographer. Cheap cardboard cards that you could give away to the family. A craze between 1860 and 1900

Sunset on Friday 18th December 1908. I have cleaned-up this astounding autochrome photograph of twilight 117 years ago, taken in colour by Julien Gérardin. It is an original colour plate, not colourised.

He has really captured the magic of a landscape that exists mainly in our minds: the woods at night. (5)

Before the internet was for cats, photography was for cats.

Glenalvin Goodridge, Portrait of a Cat, c. 1858. Goodridge was the son of a formerly enslaved man turned businessman and at 18yo in 1847, opened his first photography studio that also served as a stop on the Underground Railroad.

Happy birthday Clarence Hudson White. The remarkable bookkeeper, photographer, and educator, remembered for ethereal images, advocating for photography as art, and struggling to pay to make 8 photos a month, was born today in 1871. #earlyphotography

Boulevard de Strasbourg (Corsets)
gelatin silver print

Jean-Eugène-Auguste Atget (1857-1927)

For almost three decades, the former actor Eugene Atget systematically, often serially, documented everything about Paris that seemed to be vanishing with the encroachments of modernization. Impeccably composed, with rich and varied textures and forms, his images range from unpeopled streets, parks, and monuments to cafes, street vendors, and shop windows. In Boulevard de Strasbourg (Corsets), rows of hourglass-shaped busts emerge out of darkness, while a dangling corset swings in the cracked doorway, animating the entire scene (Atget’s old-fashioned camera often recorded moving objects as blurred). Atget sold these cultural documents for modest sums to artists, craftspeople, and institutions interested in preserving the past. It was not until after 1925, when his work was publicized by the expatriate American artists Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, that his photographs began to be recognized by a wider art world.
