Description
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>

Description
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>

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>

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album of original photographs offers a view of India as seen through a </span><a href="https://archive.artic.edu/stieglitz/pictorialism/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pictorialist</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> lens. The photographer, who was a visitor to India in 1900, plays with composition and focus to soften the appearance of the photographs, differentiating this album from the typical <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/snapshot-albums">snapshot albums</a> that began to proliferate around this time. </span><span>Here, the romantic haze of the Pictorialist style contributes to the view of India circulated by this album. Another example of the Pictorialist approach can be found in Edward Curtis's </span><i><span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3155">The North American</a></span></i><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3155"> <em>Indian</em></a><em>,</em> which aimed to document the Indigenous peoples of North America in the early-twentieth century, and often did so through a hazy, romanticized lens.</p>

<p><a href="https://azmemory.azlibrary.gov/digital/collection/msiartifact/id/85/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cigarette albums</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> offer a different model for ways in which words and photographs could come together in a single volume. Albums like this one were sold with printed text and blank spaces for photographs; album owners would send in coupons that came with their packets of cigarettes to receive photographs to fill the blank spaces.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This example celebrates Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi Party and </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Führer</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and thereby demonstrates explicitly how photographs could be used to disseminate political ideologies. The album offers a counterpoint to publications such as </span><em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3045">Life</a></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which began publication in 1936 and was informed by very different ideologies. The album also provides further context for </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">John Heartfield’s <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3157">photomontages</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which drew on and remixed mass media images such as these photographs to critique the Nazi regime. <br /><br />Another <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3144">German cigarette album</a> housed in Bruce Peel Special Collections commemorates the 1936 Olympics.</span></p>

<em>First Over Everest: The Houston-Mount Everest Expedition 1933 </em><span>brings together the technologies of aviation and photography to exert a sense of control over a</span><span> <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3147">sublime landscape</a>. The book’s photographic illustrations demonstrate photography’s usefulness for circulating knowledge. At the same time, the variety of ways the photographs are manipulated within the book's pages suggest an effort to experiment with methods of producing meaning with photographic images. Examine the book’s different forms of photography, and consider which ones are most useful for circulating knowledge. <br /><br />A full scan of the book is available through the <a href="https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.208096/page/n7/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Archive</a>.</span>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Related to the earlier tradition of <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3170">lantern slides</a> on glass plates</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, <a href="https://obsoletemedia.org/135-film-slides/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">slides</a> made from <a href="https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/celluloid-and-photography-part-1-celluloid-as-a-substitute-for-glass/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celluloid film</a> became a commonplace way of circulating photographic images in the twentieth century. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">These slides featuring the sites and artworks of Toledo, Spain, could have been used in various ways. Slides were frequently used to circulate art reproductions, much like </span>engraving<span style="font-weight: 400;"> or lithography had been in previous centuries (such as in Baxter's <em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3033">Cabinet of Paintings</a></em>)</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and they became a fixture of art history classrooms in the twentieth century. These slides also allude to the tradition of the family slideshow, popularized in the 1950s and 1960s with </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3043">Kodachrome</a> slides<span style="font-weight: 400;">. Much like </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">photographic <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/souvenir-books">souvenir books</a> and <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/souvenir-cards">souvenir cards</a></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, slides like these could be purchased by a traveller to supplement their snapshots of a trip. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This lavish and unique five-volume photograph album records a hunting trip to the Canadian Rockies in 1916-17. Each photograph in the album is hand-tinted with watercolours and mounted on its own page. The album's large and heavy pages provide a generous frame for each picture, creating a setting that would be appropriate for an original work of art. </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>
