Interrogating the intersection of institutional archives and technical evolution, “Exhibitions, Societies, and the Press” reveals the collaborative and competitive socio-technical networks that catalyzed the birth of the color photography era in Britain.
“Exhibitions, Societies, and the Press” interrogates Britain’s color photography milieu (1906–1932). This inaugural volume in the Histories of Color Photography series deconstructs „heroic“ milestones to reveal the socio-technical synergies and creative networks catalyzing the medium’s emergence. Drawing on primary sources and museum collections, it traces the transition from chemical transparencies to tripack films through organizational relationships between color photographers.
A vital, rigorous reappraisal of the medium, destined for historians, curators, and photography enthusiasts.
