Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album was assembled by a man named R. C. W. Lett, who is described in the album’s pages as a “colonization agent” of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The album thus makes visible and explicit the ways that photography was used as a tool of colonization. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The album also contains some surprises. Three loose photographs found among the album’s pages offer views of Mount Robson. Look closely. In each print, a man sits at an easel in the foreground, dwarfed by the size of the mountain while painting the scenery around him. Paint has also been applied to the surface of the photographs in an apparent effort to transform these documentary prints into </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/works-of-art/1850-to-1900"><span style="font-weight: 400;">works of art</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.<br /></span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Published by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1890, this brochure provides another example of the way that the CPR packaged and sold the land of Canada, and of the role that photography played in that process. Here, actual land is advertised as available for purchase, whereas the album <em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3056">CPR 1887</a></em>, <span>created just three years earlier to commemorate a CPR investors' trip across Canada,</span></span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> packages and sells an idea of Canada’s landscape to investors. </span></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">This brochure also demonstrates the challenge of printing photographs and texts side-by-side at this time and calls attention to some of the strategies used instead. Here, captions accompanying each illustration promise viewers that the pictures are based on photographs and are therefore “photographic,” even in the absence of actual photographs. This was a common approach used in illustrated newspapers throughout the second half of the nineteenth century, until the </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3044">halftone process</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> came into widespread use.</span>

An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This unique album from 1894 acts as an </span><i>aide memoire</i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with the photographs as well as the pressed plants and flowers providing an </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/what-is-photography">indexical</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> link to the places represented. </span></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0eIH69QWd8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gelatin dry plate process</a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">rendered photography more accessible in the late-nineteenth century. Once the plates could be dry rather than wet (as was the case with the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">), photographers did not need a portable darkroom in order to create the kind of landscape pictures included here. Still, the careful compositions found within this album suggest that the photographs were taken by a serious amateur who had knowledge of the photographic process, made use of a tripod, and aimed for artistic compositions. Compare this album to an <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/snapshot-albums">album of snapshots</a> from the early-twentieth century to get a sense of this difference.<br /><br /><span>This album is part of the </span><a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/prairie-ephemera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prairie Ephemera Collection</a><span> housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections.</span><br /></span>

An account of the resource
<span style="font-weight: 400;">“Postal Souvenirs” provides an example of what the faster exposures of the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0eIH69QWd8" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">gelatin process</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> could achieve. Here, a trip to a rodeo provided an opportunity to capture the sense of movement that eluded earlier nineteenth-century photographers. The album also provides an example of the day-to-day memories that could be recorded and preserved once the camera became commonplace. It is noteworthy that some of these photographs were printed as <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3096">postcards</a>.<br /><br />This album is part of the <a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/prairie-ephemera" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prairie Ephemera Collection</a> housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections.</span>

<span>This album of photographic <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3096">postcards</a> includes examples of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0hiBi5c4Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cyanotype process</a>, which was a relatively simple and low-cost process frequently used for <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/snapshot-albums">family snapshots</a>, contact prints, and blueprints. The cyanotype process remained consistent from the early-nineteenth century (when botanist <a href="https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/anna-atkins-cyanotypes-the-first-book-of-photographs.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anna Atkins</a> used the process) into the twentieth century, as seen in the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3066">Report on Evaporation Data</a>, included in this exhibition. <a href="https://www.taniawillard.ca/images/anthro-a-pologizing-2018-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tania Willard</a>, a multidisciplinary artist from the Secwepemc Nation, continues to use the cyanotype process today.<br /><br />This album forms part of the </span><a href="http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/magee.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magee Photograph Collection</a>, along with <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3131">another album</a> in this exhibition that features tintypes<span>.</span>

<p><a href="https://asc.ucalgary.ca/photohistory/tintypes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tintypes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> were made possible with the introduction of </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wet collodion</span></a>. In the case of the tintype, the exposure is made on a thin sheet of metal with the result that<span style="font-weight: 400;"> the tones are reversed to create a positive image. Like the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125">daguerreotype</a>, the <a href="https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/find-out-when-a-photo-was-taken-identify-ferrotype-tintype/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tintype</a> is a direct positive image</span>—<span style="font-weight: 400;">there is no negative, and it therefore exists as a single, unique object. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Because they are thin and light (unlike the daguerreotype), as well as durable, tintypes could be easily sent to loved ones through the mail. Many of the tintypes that survive today were portraits taken and circulated as mementoes. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tintypes shown here were gathered together into an album that has a back cover decorated with colourful clippings. The album forms part of the <a href="http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/magee.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Magee Photograph Collection</a>, along with <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3132">another album</a><span> in this exhibition that features cyanotypes and postcards</span>.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album of portraits features actresses, singers, and dancers, demonstrating the growing popularity of celebrity photographs. Emerging technologies and formats such as the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and the </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3055">carte-de-visite</a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">format made mass reproduction of such celebrity portraits possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though portraits often rely on a basic formula, the aesthetics of photographic portraits can vary considerably. Some photographic studios prioritized quick and efficient picture-taking, while others</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">such as the studio of French photographer <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/nadr/hd_nadr.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nadar</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">were known for their artful compositions. Some of the most well-known celebrity portraits of the nineteenth century are those that Nadar made of <a href="https://www.getty.edu/art/collection/objects/39489/nadar-gaspard-felix-tournachon-paul-nadar-sarah-bernhardt-french-negative-about-1864-print-about-1924-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sarah Bernhardt</a>. Nadar was known for creating unique portraits that appeared to express the personalities of his subjects, much like some of the portraits in this album. <br /><br />In addition to considering what the individual photographs in this album suggest about the identities of their subjects, consider what the album as a whole might tell us about the identity of the person who collected and arranged these photographs. </span></p>
