Portraits of the Emperor and Princess of Prussia
Description
An account of the resource
<p>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 r<span>ichly-coloured portraits that commemorate the powerful and the wealthy. In comparison to </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3125">daguerreotypes</a><span><span><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. </span></span></p>
