Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This artists' book was created by American artist <a href="https://youtu.be/0xboX5cvIzw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ed Ruscha</a>. During the 1960s and 1970s, Ruscha created a series of photographic books featuring banal subject matter such as interstate gas stations, empty swimming pools, and vacant parking lots. Informed by the principles of</span> <a href="https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/cncp/hd_cncp.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">conceptual art</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which privileged ideas over aesthetics, Ruscha’s work points towards photographs' ubiquity within twentieth-century visual culture as carriers of information rather than as aesthetic objects. By taking banal informational images and inserting them into contexts such as the art gallery and the art book, Ruscha prompts us to consider how such photographs can become art. With its repetitive structure and mundane subject matter, <em>Every Building on the Sunset Strip</em> is closely related to the NE Thing Co's <em><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3140">Portfolio of Piles</a>.</em><br /><br />Bruce Peel Special Collections houses six of Ruscha's photographic books including <a href="https://artmuseum.princeton.edu/collections/objects/13606" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Every Building on the Sunset Strip</em></a> (featured here), <a href="https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/187.2015.a-ii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>A Few Palm Trees</em></a>, <a href="https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/430.2008.a-ii/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Thirtyfour Parking Lots in Los Angeles</em></a>, and <em><a href="https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/collection/works/433.2008.a-bb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Estate Opportunities</a>.</em> <br /><br /><br /></span></p>

Lantern Slide
Description
An account of the resource
<p><a href="https://www.whyte.org/illuminatinglanternslides" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Lantern slides</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, which allowed the image on a glass plate to be projected with light onto a wall or screen, represent one way that knowledge circulated through photographs. Though lantern slides with painted imagery have a long history that predates the discovery of photography, travelling lectures based on photographic lantern slides became increasingly commonplace in the nineteenth and early-twentieth century. Lantern slides would eventually be supplanted by </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3159"><span style="font-weight: 400;">film slides</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This hand-coloured slide is made from a photograph taken by Western Canadian journalist Miriam Green Ellis. The cracks that mark the surface of the glass plate call attention to the fragility of lantern slides.

Description
An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">R. A. Ellis explains that “the scarcity of books on the subject of spider life is my excuse for assuming the role of guide into ‘Spiderland.’ The fruit of personal observation and reading is set forth, in as graphic a form as I could command, by pen and camera” (v). As promised, the book offers a wide variety of illustrations, some of which are photographic. This mix of media calls attention to the relative advantages of different forms of image-making. <br /><br />A full scan of <em>Spiderland,</em> part of the <a href="https://bpsc.library.ualberta.ca/collections/dr-ronald-b-madge-entomology-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dr Ronald B.

An account of the resource
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Victorian bodybuilder <a href="https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/eugen-sandow-a-body-worth-immortalising.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eugen Sandow</a>’s guide to physical training provides an example of the ways in which photographs could be used in how-to manuals. To consider the advantages of photography for this purpose, compare this volume to </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3034"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Art of Swimming</span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from 1764.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sandow’s guide is richly illustrated with photographs, reproduced by the </span><a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/item/3044">halftone process</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and supplemented</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">with engravings that contribute additional meanings. For example, notice how the two different media on pages 28 and 29 complement each other by making an implicit connection between the idealized nudes of classical sculpture and Sandow’s living<strong> </strong>body, with Sandow’s active body clearly superseding the inert stones portrayed in the engraving. These connections continue throughout the book, with Sandow striking poses borrowed from classical sculpture. <i> </i></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The photographs of Sandow’s body also call attention to a persistent problem with the nude in photography. While nude figures were welcome in painted representations hanging on the walls of art galleries, representing the nude in photography—in all its <a href="https://omeka.library.ualberta.ca/exhibits/show/photograpies/what-is-photography">indexical</a> glory—was another story altogether. <br /><br />A full scan of Sandow's guide is available through the <a href="https://archive.org/details/sandowgetsphysicl00sanduoft/page/n1/mode/2up" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Internet Archive</a>.</span></p>
