Collotypes provided a way to print photographs within the pages of books alongside text, instead of pasting in individual photographs, but it was a laborious and expensive process. The photographs collected in Views of Portree provide a souvenir of this place and contribute to the “<a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity">imagined geographies</a>” of Portree—much like the album <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3056">CPR 1887</a> contributes to the imagined geography of Canada.

The album provides an example of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">albumen prints</a> created using the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wet collodion process</a>. The photographers responsible for these images would have travelled across the landscapes pictured here carrying their supply of glass plate negatives and a full darkroom, due to the necessity of preparing and developing wet plates on location. Once the photographs were printed on albumen paper, they had to be individually pasted onto each page of the album. Photographs like these ones played a role in shaping the ways that the Canadian West was imagined, and provide a good example of what photo historian Joan Schwartz calls "<a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity">imagined geographies</a>." This album turns the spaces of Canada into an imagined place—and, for the specific purposes of this album—one that was intended to please investors in the railway.  As you consider the kind of “imagined geographies” that these photographs both build on and contribute to, consider additional <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/memory-and-identity/1900-to-1969/souvenir-books">souvenir albums</a> of the Western Canadian landscape included in this exhibition.

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.

Rankin and His Brother Playing Lacrosse Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource William Notman (photographer) Eugène L'Africain (colourist) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1887 72.4 x 51.6 cm TR 140 N68 N913 1887 folio Description An account of the resource 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 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/4fe38cdac04277b1a6b6a720136b9c3a.jpg 27df53dc68bface2c1009a7d118faf21 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/8b14d9daa4a305104fe477264ce48a92.jpeg c01d6e0fb55e2db6442b04f55707fd6a https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/68ff3c5afacdeafb00f785c518b8a59a.jpeg ad1b10c474b234013dcc5a2327915558 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/529a4aff2baef7c83df18e86a653b85a.jpg fdec3313d2dd1b727d43941a4599b1b5 https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/38f70a8dabf9a2e5ed74fd14ca3e1197.jpeg 915fbf801bcf1265c9e784828aa791fe https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/files/original/05866429f9c10021053afb5162ebacef.jpg 17e17fbb575911448d164857d5429a77 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Gilpin described the <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/p/picturesque" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picturesque</a> as a type of view that offered a middleground between the peacefulness of a beautiful landscape and the thrill of a <a href="https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/s/sublime" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sublime landscape</a>.  Gilpin’s popularization of sketching <a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/what-is-the-picturesque-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">picturesque scenery</a> played a role in William Henry Fox Talbot's <a href="https://www.sfmoma.org/watch/sun-pictures-henry-fox-talbot-and-first-photographs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovery of photography</a>. It was when he was sketching the picturesque landscape of Italy that Talbot grew frustrated, and began imagining how much easier life could be if nature could just imprint itself onto a piece of paper. Many of the landscape views that would be created photographically in the centuries to come followed the formula of picturesque scenery popularized by Gilpin. <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3060">Views of Portree</a> offers an excellent example; some of its views seem to come straight out of Gilpin's sketchbooks.

Title A name given to the resource Otis Dump Cars Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource [1910] 8.4 x 14.0 cm TF 479 O85 1910 Description An account of the resource This pamphlet for Otis dump cars provides an example of the promotional uses of photography in the early-twentieth century. It also calls to mind some of the more mundane uses of photography, which were taken up and parodied by conceptual artists in the later twentieth century. The NE Thing Company’s <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3140">Portfolio of Piles</a>, for example, builds on the function and aesthetic of corporate publications like this one. Bruce Peel Special Collections houses both the published pamphlet and the original photographs on which the printed images were based. Considered on their own, the photographs resemble the <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3151">Modernist aesthetic</a> taken up by photographers in the early-twentieth century.

Valette (photographer) R. N. Rudmose Brown (photographer) J. H. Harvey Pirie (photographer) R. C. Mossman (photographer) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1907 9.6 x 14.5 cm Q 115 S536 1907 Description An account of the resource Life in the Antarctic: Photographs by the Scottish Antarctic Expedition includes a prefatory note explaining that “the illustrations in this little book are all reproductions of genuine photographs from life, taken by the <a href="https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/library/files/special/exhibns/month/apr2004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Leader and Staff of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition</a>, during the voyage of the ‘Scotia,’ 1902-1904.” The note goes on to explain that the photographs “were taken under conditions of climate which make photography extremely difficult and often impossible” and “they are not touched up in any way.”  Life in the Antarctic was published by Gowans & Gray as part of their series of Gowans’s Nature Books, and was intended for a general audience.
