Title A name given to the resource Portraits of British Americans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Fennings Taylor (author) William Notman (photographer) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1865 21.0 x 14.5 cm FC 25 T228 1865 Description An account of the resource Portraits of British Americans demonstrates some of the challenges of circulating knowledge through photographs in the mid-nineteenth century. Though these <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen prints</a> could be mass-produced, each print had to be individually pasted onto the page in order to combine it with text in the form of an illustrated book. This book was published by the photographer <a href="https://www.aci-iac.ca/art-books/william-notman/biography/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Notman</a>, who ran a successful photographic firm based in Montreal, with branches in several other cities in Eastern Canada and the United States. Notman was an aggressive entrepreneur, and this volume likely functioned as a promotional tool for his portraits, which made up the bulk of his business. Notman’s elegant studio, use of artistic backdrops, and innovative printing techniques drew an elite clientele, who would have been drawn to the idea of joining the ranks of eminent British Americans by having a portrait taken by the “photographer to the Queen,” a title that Notman secured in 1860. The <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3053">portrait of A. C. Rankin and his brother</a> provides an example of a particularly lavish portrait produced by Notman’s studio.   Many of the photographs of Western Canada included in this exhibition were taken by Notman’s photographic firm, such as <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3056">CPR 1887</a> and <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3148">Photographs of the Canadian Rockies, Fraser River, Yellowstone Park, etc</a>, and contributed to an <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity">imagined geography</a> of Canada. With these other photographs in mind, consider what this volume and its photographs suggest about the identity of British Americans.   A full scan of this book is available through the <a href="https://archive.org/details/portraitsofbriti01tayluoft/page/n4/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Archive</a>. portrait William Notman https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/6ef370a91b96e434d13c53144837d031.jpg 58ef4c03bd3cc78e1d5e896531bcc9eb https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/ce5f62cc945794fbf02b701f7bcd7aa0.jpg 371f0ea08b45c5ce4ae76f7a5914454b https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/4e8dca0cd48d9ee1f763ec2d2a99f88f.jpg f7cd1c4deae823148a94e8f4e43faa93 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 Portraits of the Emperor and Princess of Prussia Description An account of the resource Around the same time as photography’s discovery, <a href="https://library.vicu.utoronto.ca/collections/special_collections/george_baxter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">George Baxter</a> developed a process of colour printing known as <a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/explore/glossary-of-art-terms/chromolithograph" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chromolithography</a>, which he patented in 1835. The portraits of the Emperor and Princess of Prussia seen here employ that process in order to create richly-coloured portraits that commemorate the powerful and the wealthy. In comparison to <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125">daguerreotypes</a><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125"> of middle-class patrons like that of Mrs Morrow</a>, these could be, and were intended to be, circulated widely in order to promote a public identity.  View Baxter's <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3033">Cabinet of Paintings</a>, another example of the chromolithographic process, as well as the <a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/donald-and-barbara-cameron-collection-of-george-baxter-prints" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cameron Collection of George Baxter Prints</a>, housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections.

Postcards offer an easy way to send pictures through the mail, and to communicate both visually—with the picture on the front of the card—and textually, with a short message hand-written on the back of the card. This album brings together a collection of postcards created from personal snapshots, though many twentieth-century postcards were mass produced. For some unique examples, look at "<a href="https://www.printmag.com/post/greetings-from-the-brink-of-mutually-assured-destruction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">atomic postcards</a>" from the Cold War.

Title A name given to the resource Potatoes: Facts & Recipes Description An account of the resource From the early decades of the twentieth century, provincial and federal government departments produced free publications encouraging women to make the most of local products. Polly Potato, whose attractive but oversized head must have been modelled on the titular tuber, offered information about Manitoba potato varieties, nutrition, buying, and storage. The book, likely produced by mimeograph, also includes recipes for “Curried Potatoes,” “Escalloped Potatoes,” “Hungarian Potato Soup,” and “Potato Bon Bons” (which combined mashed potatoes with icing sugar). The recipes for “Chocolate Snowballs” and “Potato Doughnuts” have been modified to suit the cook; in the case of the grease-stained doughnut page, the recipe has been doubled. Such annotations speak to the interactive nature of cookbooks, which are constantly edited and refined to suit the reader’s tastes, experiences, and needs. A rare book dealer site also indicates that Polly had a partner in Potato Pete, who says “Buy me wisely, store me carefully, cook me skilfully & I’m Sure to Please” (“Potatoes”).

Glossy <a href="https://asc.ucalgary.ca/photohistory/silver-gelatin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">silver gelatin prints</a> that portray various locations in Alberta and Saskatchewan are inserted into cuts in the pages, while the pages themselves are <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3132">cyanotypes</a> on which the white text was rendered photographically. The rich blue of the pages are typical of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0hiBi5c4Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cyanotype process</a>. This record of evaporation data points toward some of the more mundane uses of photography as it became increasingly commonplace.
