The Museum & the Photograph: Collecting Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum, 1853-1900
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Museum
- Publish date: 12/01/2007
This volume reproduces the work of a number of noted photographers from the museum's collection, including Gustave Le Gray, Julia Margaret Cameron, Samuel Bourne, Eadward Muybridge, Peter H. Emerson, and Frederick H. Evans. An essay by Mark Haworth-Booth gives a historical overview of the photographs and the circumstances of their acquisition. Anne McCauley traces the parallels between the development of photography as a medium and the development of the public museum as a collecting entity, with comparisons of the V&A to the Bibliotheque Nationale and the Bibliotheque des Arts decoratifs in France. Using examples from the V&A collection, the book discusses early institutional attitudes towards the medium and early collections.
