Annual Lecture in the History of Photography

As part of our Research Seminar Programme, we are delighted to announce the forthcoming Annual Lecture in the History of Photography. This year we are very pleased to welcome François Brunet, Professor of Art and Literature of the United States of America, Université Paris Diderot, who will present a lecture entitled:

"On the Emergence of National Traditions in the Beginnings of Photography (1839-1859)"

Professor Brunet is the author of Photography and Literature (Reaktion Books, 2009), and has also co-edited a recent study of American frontier photography in the nineteenth century, Images of the West: Survey photography in French Collections, 1860-1880 (Terra Foundation for the Arts, 2007).

All are most welcome to attend and to join us afterwards for drinks and conversation in the School of Art History.
