Boake (photographer) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource [1880-1890] 23.0 x 19.6 cm QL 26 E58 1880 Description An account of the resource This album contains a collection of portraits in the format of cartes-de-visite and cabinet cards. The <a href="https://www.gallery.ca/photo-blog/collecting-cards-cartes-de-visite" target="_blank" rel="noopener">carte-de-visite</a> was introduced in the 1850s by French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri. Since Disdéri depended on the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM&feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a> to create the portraits he sold at his Paris studio, exposing one plate required a significant amount of labour. An astute businessman, Disdéri came up with a new photographic format that would allow him to print eight full-length portraits with just one exposure by using a four-lens camera and sliding plate. The portraits were printed on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen paper</a>, a type of light-sensitive paper made with a coating of egg whites that allowed for a smooth surface. After printing, the portraits were mounted on cardboard and cut to produce eight distinct portraits.  <a href="https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/find-out-when-a-photo-was-taken-identify-a-cabinet-card/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cabinet cards</a> are similar in format to cartes-de-visite, with an albumen print mounted on cardboard, but they are larger in size. This album brings together cartes-de-visite of scientists, mostly entomologists, and was collected as part of Bruce Peel Special Collection’s <a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/dr-ronald-b-madge-entomology-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr Ronald B. Madge Entomology Collection</a>. While photography can record an individual’s likeness and provide information about their identity, it also leads us to consider how the work of collecting photographs and organizing them into an album helps shape and communicate information about the identity of the album’s compiler. Another <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3128">portrait album</a> housed by the Peel library contains pictures of actresses, singers, and dancers, and provides a feminine counterpoint to the portraits of men collected here.  carte-de-visite entomology portrait https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/0247aa8262606889e31fa86dc8886a91.jpg 0389ca986c020abb4ed586c0102d16b5 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/f4f9d748ca9e8597c4a0f4d784c20ffe.jpg ac7e36eb52032a232429a57b6a827e70 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/9f84a013c24bd459baa40e26f6c7f275.jpg 00bb3810bfdae5c3aa4257194b901780 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/2548f4877706a4e5daa20687397ae9c4.jpg 1f363547a96ff8ef464a28d4bce75d36 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/8201a645b6d626f85b439119e46a03b1.jpg 2f72963caa3dd234e0353fd62cd67f46 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/0486a196bf14cd4a72f7889d757843cb.jpg 9abc4963685247b0005f53dfefff2822 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/8e09ae3bc1f056b1acffdc4dd8313bc1.jpg 0c3a517b92f792f7882a3814c989d128 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/ed3e02190ad7d15bbd3f46e06dc2ae93.jpg 81004072ba99e3f73cbe63d7effcf080 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/adbb30ce6feb04a2a4ba1604cfdf412e.jpg 3f4b74c47fcf5d2c9c7ec47c720e69d3 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/5622cc931a02bed35510df3de2df1afc.jpg aef8ede46b625b9203895837af2551db https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/7a99ff0544c290e8afc440a5e1638ba6.jpg 6a18c086c50413ab3e5455ec7caa3eb9 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/853f47eb43a634e5f40b2fa9aed0c458.jpg 2d2d14cbf7de2940f9e6f09cb6c96881 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/97161e05f4691f1bcfe84c9a9593c532.jpg fc57fd839e62ebcc3536b7bdd356f386 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/8a318edd62110c65cabaf93fcfa15272.jpg 963d1afa9e69f66441be80520aef0db4 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/2eaa62b14b6e7c24f1076996ae8e4a42.jpg 5fff7842639217826a8da5bbb741f36e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait Album Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1870 30.5 x 23.0 cm PN 2205 A34 Description An account of the resource This album of portraits features actresses, singers, and dancers, demonstrating the growing popularity of celebrity photographs. Emerging technologies and formats such as the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a> and the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3055">carte-de-visite</a> format made mass reproduction of such celebrity portraits possible. 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—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>—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.  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.   Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource photographers unknown carte-de-visite portrait https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/c45e5784c3c09df35637f49c0e0a34c4.jpg 18a1a69d253f07279f1c3d9fc71dbc2e https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/ebad106b7246dec0f7781585672200d3.jpeg f46e1d01d8bee303cf83858e00044613 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The portrait was produced by William Notman’s studio, which had artists on staff to transform photographs like this one into works of fine art. This family portrait points towards the twentieth-century tradition of <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/snapshot-albums">family snapshots</a>. However, due to its large size and painted surface, the result is less like a family snapshot and more like an elite portrait painting, comparable to Thomas Gainborough’s <a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/thomas-gainsborough-the-painters-daughters-chasing-a-butterfly" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Painter’s Daughters Chasing a Butterfly</a> (1759). This example demonstrates one way that photography could serve as a “humble servant” of art, as <a href="https://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2010/10/30/on-photography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Charles Baudelaire</a> suggested in 1859, and of the concern—also articulated by Baudelaire—that photography’s dependence on realism would stifle the artist’s imagination. <a href="https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/william-notman/biography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Notman</a> opened his first photographic studio in 1856 in Montreal, and later expanded to additional cities in Canada. His studios attracted an elite clientele, and his 1865 publication <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3154">Portraits of British Americans</a> highlights some of the well-known figures who had their photographs taken by Notman’s firm.  colour portrait William Notman https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/1d0bee27c12f1976593f9ce84ee0c6a6.jpg 6e660845c35c4fee441ecf21a29d2f21 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
