Planning and Preparing Meals
Description
An account of the resource
Anthropometric approaches to health and nutrition thrived in the twentieth century. Cookbooks and home economics manuals, including this volume (used as a high school textbook from 1964 to 1978 [“Alberta School”]), contained graphs highlighting ideal heights and weights for growing children, as well as caloric intakes and nutritional breakdowns. Similarly, standardization in food grading, which in Canada began in the first decades of the twentieth century, is evident here in the explanation of egg quality. This book also highlights the practice of breaking down and restructuring work patterns to optimize efficiency, a technique borrowed from the industrial “scientific management” and applied to the household by home economists such as Christine Frederick and Lillian Gilbreth (wife of industrialist Frank Gilbreth) in the United States. The section on “looking attractive in the kitchen” stressed that young women could not forget the importance of appearance, too: cooking, even at home, is a performance.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album contains a collection of portraits in the format of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">cartes-de-visite </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and cabinet cards.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The </span><a href="https://www.gallery.ca/photo-blog/collecting-cards-cartes-de-visite" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">carte-de-visite</span></i></a><b><i> </i></b><span style="font-weight: 400;">was introduced in the 1850s by French photographer André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri. Since Disdéri depended on the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnxT4WQsLLM&feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wet collodion process</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 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 </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObveSq3cMkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">albumen paper</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a type of light-sensitive paper made with a coating of egg whites that allowed for a smooth surface. After printing, the portraits wer</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">e mounted on cardboard and cut to produce eight distinct portraits. </span></p>
<p><a href="https://blog.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk/find-out-when-a-photo-was-taken-identify-a-cabinet-card/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cabinet cards</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are similar in format to </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">cartes-de-visite</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, with an albumen print mounted on cardboard, but they are larger in size.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This album brings together</span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> cartes-de-visite</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of scientists, mostly entomologists, and was collected as part of Bruce Peel Special Collection’s </span><a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/dr-ronald-b-madge-entomology-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr Ronald B. Madge Entomology Collection</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. While photography can record an individual’s likeness and provide information about their identity, it also leads us to consider how the work of collecting photographs and organizing them into an album helps shape and communicate information about the identity of the album’s compiler. Another </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3128"><span style="font-weight: 400;">portrait album</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> housed by the Peel library contains pictures of actresses, singers, and dancers, and provides a feminine counterpoint to the portraits of men collected here. </span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<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>
