Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This portrait of two boys playing lacrosse is both a photograph and a painting, created by applying paint to a photograph. 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 </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and painted surface, the result is less like a family snapshot and more like an elite portrait painting, comparable to Thomas Gainborough’s </span><a href="https://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/thomas-gainsborough-the-painters-daughters-chasing-a-butterfly" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Painter’s Daughters Chasing a Butterfly</span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (1759). </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">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</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">—also articulated by Baudelaire—that photography’s dependence on realism would stifle the artist’s imagination.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><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.

An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album featuring photographs of the Canadian Rockies, Fraser River, and Yellowstone Park is a typical </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/souvenir-books">souvenir album</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that contributes to </span>“<a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity"><span style="font-weight: 400;">imagined geographies</span></a>” <span style="font-weight: 400;">of a place, much like the album </span><em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3056">CPR 1887</a></em><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">. <br /><br /></span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The album's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen prints</a>, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">some of which were taken by <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3154">William Notman</a> & Son’s photographic studio</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">, were assembled between 1888 and 1914, and were pasted onto the album’s pages individually.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">These photographs likely circulated in other contexts as well, in other albums or as standalone pictures. </span></p>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Though these pictures are photographic and record actual spaces, the decisions that the photographers made in creating these views rely on artistic conventions for representing landscape, such as the conventions of the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3052">picturesque</a> and the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3147">sublime</a>. They therefore fit easily within fine art traditions. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you explore additional examples of landscape photographs included in this exhibition, you will notice many more photographs with similar compositions. </span>
