Michael Hallett / Stefan Lorant Archive

Posted by Pete James on March 9, 2009 at 10:26

Birmingham Library and Archive Services and pleased to announce the acquisition of the The Michael Hallett / Stefan Lorant Archive. This body of material relates to the specific area of picture journalism (modern photojournalism) collected by Michael Hallett between 1990 and 2007. It represents the most significant collection of ephemera and publications relating to Stefan Lorant outside of the United States.Within this archive there are two sub-areas: the first relating to Stefan Lorant, acknowledged as the godfather of photojournalism and the second relating to photojournalists active between the late-1920s and now. Both provided the raw material for numerous published articles, the former becoming the research for Hallett’s Stefan Lorant: Godfather of Photojournalism (Scarecrow Press, 2006) the latter for Being There (Scarecrow Press, in preparation).The Lorant Archive includes material relating to, as well as copies of books that Stefan Lorant wrote and the magazines that he edited. It includes some rare items such as the only known complete dummy of the magazine Lilliput; bound copies of the first 2 volumes of Weekly Illustrated 1934-1935 (Lorant edited the first 22 issues in vol 1., and 3 volumes of photocopies of predominantly original documents produced by Stefan Lorant ca.1996 (Volume 1: Chronology, Awards, Films, Articles, Books, Reviews.; Volume 2: Articles on Stefan Lorant; Volume 3: Articles written by Stefan Lorant).The Michael Hallett Archive material relating to photojournalists active between the late-1920s and now includes Interviews with influential documentary photographers who were part of an alternative agenda that was occurring independently and was enriched by Lorant’s patronage. This included those who were working in the medium from the late-1920s to others who continue to practise today. Some of these are survivors from Lorant’s editorial era who not only provide a source of history in their own right, they validate, or otherwise, Lorant’s recollections. This group includes Lucien Aigner, Cornell Capa, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Tim Gidal, Carl Mydans, Hanns Hubmann and Gordon Parks, all whom are now dead. The other photographers interviewed - a generation apart from Lorant - include Eddie Adams, Eve Arnold, John Chillingworth, Elliott Erwitt, David Hockney, David Hurn, Mary Ellen Mark, Steve Pyke, George Rodger, Willy Ronis, Sebastião Salgado, Humphrey Spender and Tom Stoddart. A third category encompasses those unknowingly influenced by Lorant but where nevertheless a connection can be shown and these include Martin Parr and Roger Mayne. Along with these interviews there are extensive notes as well as the radio quality recordings on which the articles were based.The acquisition was supported with a grants from the V&A Purchase Grant Fund and The Friends of the National Libraries.

Florence Declaration – Recommendations for the Preservation of Analogue Photo Archives

Posted by Nina Lager Vestberg on December 8, 2009 at 12:28

I want to share with all network members this important initiative from the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut (apologies for cross-posting):"The Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz – Max-Planck-Institut wishes to generate a greater understanding of the inescapable value of photographs and analogue archives for the future of studies in historic, human and social sciences. Only integration between the analogue format and the digital format can guarantee the correct conservation of the photographic heritage for future studies and at the same time the implementation of digital instruments. Representatives of both the photographic collections and academic research are therefore called on to support and respect the following recommendations."Everyone who has not yet read and signed this declaration is encouraged to do so by visiting:http://www.khi.fi.it/en/photothek/initiativen/index.html

Points of View at the British Library

Posted by Michael Pritchard on August 5, 2009 at 20:32

Points of View: Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs 30 October 2009 - 7 March 2010 . Admission free. • New exhibition unlocks treasure trove of images from the dawn of photography • Over 250 rarely-seen images trace development from gentleman's pursuit to mass pastime • Social document, art form – and a window onto the spirit world… 170 years since its invention, photography remains the main technology through which we understand and record the world. Camera phones are now ubiquitous, but in its infancy, photography was an expensive, elaborate and experimental pursuit. Points of View - the British Library's first ever major photographic exhibition - will examine the development and influence of photography, from its invention in 1839 up to the growth of a popular amateur market in the early 20th century. Rarely displayed items from the British Library's photography collection will show how photography has played a critical role as the primary means of visual expression in the modern age. See www.bl.uk/pointsofview. Among the 250 exhibits are: An oak tree in winter by William Henry Fox Talbot c.1842-43 Talbot's calotype process, which he announced in 1840 and patented the following year, produced a paper negative from which unlimited prints could be made. This example illustrates the expressive artistic possibilities of the process in one of his most accomplished studies. (Calotype negative and salted paper print) The hippopotamus at the Zoological Gardens in Regent's Park, London by Don Juan Carlos, Duke of Montizon, 1852 The arrival in 1850 of the hippopotamus Obaysch from Egypt - the first to be seen in England - caused immense excitement and doubled the number of visitors to the zoo in that year. Obaysch was joined by a mate in 1854 and survived until 1878. This is one of many natural history studies by the Count of Montizon exhibited at the Society of Arts Photographic Exhibition in 1852. (Salted paper print from a collodion negative) Dictyola dichotoma by Anna Atkins, 1843-53 Between 1843 and 1853, Anna Atkins produced nearly 450 ‘photograms' of specimens of algae, issued in a small edition as British algae. Cyanotype impressions. This is one of only 12 copies that still survives today. The vivid blue of the cyanotype process contributes to the abstract beauty of cameraless images. ( Cyanotype) X-ray photograph of frogs by Josef Maria Eder and Eduard Valenta, c.1896 Wilhelm Röntgen's discovery of x-rays in 1895 brought a new dimension of hitherto invisible structures into photographic visibility. While a risky craze in amateur x-ray photography soon subsided, what was to become a tool of immense practical utility also revealed a world of startling beauty. (Photogravure) Portrait of Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, by Lady Alice Mary Kerr, c.1870 Alice Kerr's photographs are largely unknown apart from the rare examples in the British Library collections, but her intense and compelling portraits - particularly this study of the poet Wilfrid Scawen Blunt - merit comparison with the work of Julia Margaret Cameron. (Albumen print) Printing Kodak negatives by daylight, Harrow, by an unknown photographer, 1891 This scene of the factory production of prints at Kodak's Harrow factory illustrates the growth of amateur photography in the last decade of the 19th century. The company's motto of ‘You press the button, we do the rest,' ushered in a new age of popular photography in the 20th century. (Gelatin silver print) The exhibition explores the dramatic transformations in world order during the 19th century that shaped much of the world we live in today. It will draw on the British Library's rich photographic collection of over 300,000 images – including the daguerreotype and calotype, negatives, X-ray photographs and spirit photography. Describing the exhibition the British Library's Head of Visual Materials, John Falconer commented: “Points of View explores the development of photography in the 19th century and how it quickly became a common part of daily life and a major commercial industry. Today we can't imagine life without photos but its invention in the 19 th century opened up a new world of visual communication and personal expression. Drawing on the unique collections held in the British Library, this exhibition examines the growth of the medium from the viewpoint of how and why it was used in the 19 th century, in fields as diverse as travel, portraiture, war, science and industry.” The accompanying events programme will offer a rich mix of performances, talks, family events and more. Highlights so far announced include: Imagining The Impossible (Saturday 31 October) - a Halloween special on the weird world of spirit photography. The Wonderful World of Early Photography: A Discovery Day (Saturday 7 November) - an event for all the family packed full of workshops, talks, demonstrations of the Camera Obscura, Magic Lantern and Pinhole cameras and advice clinics on your own photography collections. A Village Lost and Found (Wednesday 11 November) - photography collector and world renowned musician Brian May and photo historian Elena Vidal introduce the stunning 3D world of 19th century stereograms. Late at The Library: Victorian Values (Friday 20 November) - a photography themed, and burlesque flavoured night of performances, sideshows, music and slightly twisted Victoriana. Professor Heard's Peerless Victorian Magic Lantern Show (Sunday 29 November) - a brilliant introduction to an entertainment massively popular before the advent of recorded sound and moving image. Capture Kings Cross (27 February 2010). A mass participation event, creatively photographing the area around the British Library and the Kings Cross development. The British Library will be offering a range of learning activities to accompany the exhibition, including workshops for secondary and further education students, and guided tours for those in higher education and adult groups. An accompanying book, Points of View: Capturing the 19th Century in Photographs, will be published by the British Library in November 2009. It will feature over 150 colour illustrations including photographs from many of the most celebrated names in 19th century photography such as Francis Frith, Felix Teynard, Samuel Bourne and Peter Henry Emerson, as well as numerous lesser known names who made significant contributions to the medium. The book will be published by the British Library in November 2009, available in hardback at £29.95 (ISBN 978 0 7123 5081 5) and paperback at £15.95 (ISBN 978 0 7123 5082 2 ) with 176 pages, 270 x 220 mm, over 150 colour illustrations. Available from the British Library Shop (tel: +44 (0)20 7412 7735 / email: bl-bookshop@bl.uk) and online at www.bl.uk/shop as well as other bookshops throughout the UK.

January / St Andrews Library

Posted by Michael Pritchard on January 24, 2009 at 20:21

There's doesn't seem too be too much happening in the UK now other than the events already posted. One website which is worth taking a look at is http://special.st-andrews.ac.uk/saspecial/ which will take you to the University of St Andrews Photographic Archive. Lots of fascinating material from Sir David Brewster to Valentine and later material, too. Recommended! Please feel free too add anything to this site that is relevent to the overall subject area of British photographic history. Remember, this isn't a one-man show - the more contributions the better and there are some very illustrious members... Michael Pritchard

English Heritage aerial survey

Posted by Michael Pritchard on January 18, 2009 at 12:22

Although not strictly history of photography, more the photography of history, English Heritage has identified almost 1,000 new archaeological sites along the North East coast, including ship wrecks, wartime defences and remains of medieval salt factories. A team of English Heritage-funded archaeologists examined thousands of aerial photographs of the coastline, stretching from the Scottish border to Whitby, and pieced together the most up-to-date record of the wealth of historical sites scattered along the coast.

Facing Asia conference 2010: call for papers

Posted by Michael Pritchard on December 2, 2009 at 8:15

This is an international two day conference on early photographers and their studio practices in Asia, and cross-cultural exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region. It aims to explore the photographic portrait in the first hundred years of the medium in Asia. It intends to promote inter-regional comparative analyses between scholars working in diverse cultural and national contexts. The symposium will not only analyse photographic representations of Asian peoples for the global market, but also consider the domestic adoptions and adaptations of the visual technology for local forms of self-representation and cultural practice. It will also consider the studio photograph as collaboration between photographer and sitter, and the diverse performed identities invoked in photographic sittings. Possible topics include: * Early Asian photographers and their studio practices * The exhibition and reception of photographic portfolios * Collected portfolios of Asian peoples * Photographers of the Asian diaspora active in California, Australia and elsewhere. * Photographic portraiture and identity * Cross-cultural photographic exchanges within the Asia-Pacific region * Asian photographic archives and their histories Presented by the Research School of Humanities, Australian National University and the National Gallery of Australia. http://www.asia-pacific-photography.com/ http://www.asia-pacific-photography.com/gael09/FacingAsia-Call-for-Papers.pdf

EXCLUSIVE: Kodak donates archive to libraries

Posted by Michael Pritchard on March 3, 2009 at 8:30

In a generous move Kodak has donated its British company archives to the British Library and its research department's library to De Montfort University in Leicester. The donations safeguard the material in perpetuity as the company continues its worldwide reorganisation. The material comes from the company's British corporate headquarters and the company's European Research Centre which was established at Harrow in 1928 and recently moved to Cambridge. At a formal ceremony on 2 March at the British Library Kodak's Jan Wildman and the British Library's Ronald Milne, Director, Scholarship & Collections, signed the formal agreement to donate. The company archive which dates from the company's arrival in the United Kingdom in 1885 includes business documents, contracts, production records and marketing material and will complement the British Library's expanding photographic collections which have recently been joined by the William Henry Fox Talbot and Fay Godwin collections.The British Library will be holding a major exhibition of its photographic collections, including some of the Kodak material, from October 2009. This is not the first time that Kodak Ltd has made a major donation. In 1985 it closed the Kodak Museum at Harrow which had opened in 1927 and donated the entire collection to the Science Museum. It now forms a key part of the National Media Museum in Bradford.

Kodak's British research department was formally established in 1928 and the library includes runs of nineteenth century journals and books which were used by company staff until the 1980s and go to De Montfort University in Leicester which has established itself as the leading UK centre for photographic history and research. The university has produced a number of ground-breaking online historical databases and a MA course in Photographic History and it's Practice starts in October 2009. It also has several PhD students researching photographic history. The library donation is a major resource and will be housed in a secure special collections areas of the university library. A small part of the library has been retained by the British Library to fill gaps in its collection of photographic journals. Kodak first arrived in Britain in 1885 when founder George Eastman opened a London office in London's Soho Square to sell his and other American manufacturer's products. The London office was a base for Eastman's expansion into Europe and in 1888 it moved to Oxford Street with formal retail premises. The first British company, the Eastman Photographic Materials Company, was formed in 1889 to handle all Eastman's business outside of North America and in 1890 Eastman bought the Harrow site where the first Kodak factory outside of Rochester, NY, was established. The site remains in operation producing photographic papers. Kodak Limited was established 1898 and the company established a network of shops throughout the UK and added photo-finishing to its operations. Camera making commenced in Britain in mid-1927. The Kodak Ltd dominated the British photographic manufacturing and retail scene for the next fifty years. In the early 1980s recession forced the Eastman Kodak Company, the American parent company, to review worldwide operations and the company underwent a period of contraction which accelerated from in the early 2000s as digital photography began to impact on the company's traditional areas of film and paper production. In Britain a number of sites were closed. The Hemel Hempstead headquarters which had moved from London and opened in 1971 were relocated and the Harrow factory downsized. The research department is due to close shortly. Restructuring had started to show financial benefits by late 2008 when the worldwide credit crunch hit the company but Kodak remains poised to ensure it's future survival by focusing on materials and cameras for digital photography. The donation has taken several years to complete and a number of the key players to secure the collections were present at the formal signing ceremony including Kodak's Dr Sam Weller, former head of research, Chris Roberts, Kodak Archive Curator, Derek Birch formerly of Kodak Research Laboratories; the British Library's John Falconer head of photographic collections, and Professor Roger Taylor. Representatives from De Montfort University included Dr Kelley Wilder, head of the new MA course, Professor Stephen Brown and Dr Gerard Moran, Dean of Art and Design.

The Colours of Another Age

Posted by Michael Pritchard on April 20, 2009 at 7:54

The Rothshild Autochromes celebrate the earliest form of colour photography and a new exhibition at Exbury give - some for the first time - a glimpse into the bygone Edwardian era. Lionel de Rothschild was an early exponent of the art of the autochrome, his attention and eye to detail clearly evident in his photographs. Lionel was later to purchase the Exbury Estate in 1919, channelling his energies away from photography and into the development of his lasting legacy - the establishment of the world-famous rhododendron gardens. The exhibition helps celebrate the 90th anniversary of Lionel purchasing the Exbury Estate, and is staged in conjunction with The Rothschild Archives. An article by Victor Gray of the Rothschild Archive is available here. The exhibition is on from 1 May-27 September. Admission is included within the entry price to the Gardens. More details are available here.

Photography! A Special Collection from the University of Leiden

Posted by Michael Wong on March 5, 2010 at 18:08

For those of you who still haven't had a chance to visit the amazing British Library Points of View exhibition, you better to do as it ends this Sunday (7th March) !

However, if you happen to be in the Netherlands, near the Hague, anytime from now until 23rd April, you can catch a Dutch 'version' which they have called 'Photography' which covers the development of photography, from pioneer to the Dutch New Photography movement.

The first image produced using the camera obscura principle (1545), the original camera belonging to painter George Hendrik Breitner, daguerreotypes over 150 years old: the University of Leiden’s photographic collection is unique in many ways. It is both the oldest and the largest museum photography collection in the country, telling the whole story of the emergence and development of photography. It also includes work by contemporary photographers, and ‘classic’ works by photographers like Alfred Stieglitz and Diane Arbus. The largest ever exhibition of pieces from this unique collection can be seen at The Hague Museum of Photography until 23rd April.

The University of Leiden’s photography collection represents the history, development and different forms of the medium. It includes examples of virtually all photographic techniques, rare objects and artistic high points: the early experiments of photographic pioneers like William Fox Talbot, for example, and the collages of Paul Citroen. Artistic ambition is illustrated by pieces from Piet Zwart and Paul Schuitema’s Dutch New Photography movement, and photographers like Emmy Andriesse and Cas Oorthuys represent the engagement of documentary photographers. The collection focuses on Dutch photography in an international context, and so includes work by great photographers like Julia Margaret Cameron, Edward Curtis and Richard Avedon.

The exhibition will feature a special selection from the collection, chosen for its visual quality. See 'Events' for venue info etc.
