Περιγραφή για Cartomania: Photography and Celebrity in the Nineteenth Century Paul Frecker September Publishing

\'This eye-opening and frequently jaw-dropping history of the phenomenon… opens up a set of fascinating peepholes on to a now vanished world\' Spectator Cartomania was a photographic phenomenon that seized the public imagination at the beginning of the 1860s. Small portraits, dubbed cartes de visite, were avidly exchanged with friends and family, quickly earning a reputation as \'the paper currency of social intercourse\'. Compiled into albums and prominently displayed in the home to peruse, assess and discuss, this first explosion of commercial portraiture proved a wildly popular craze, particularly once celebrities embraced the new format. Paul Frecker\'s lavishly illustrated book brings fresh insight into the careers of the enterprising men and women who established studios and into the lives of those who passed before their cameras. With unparalleled depth of research and evocative prose, he vividly brings to life the photographers and many of their subjects. From reigning queens and visiting sultans to grieving mothers and nefarious criminals, all life lies within. Whether dressed in their best or in fancy dress, cartomania\'s devotees and their often extraordinary stories are laid bare in this fascinating view of mid-Victorian society.
