Smorfie, travestimenti, ritratti strani e ridicoli... Gli scatti pazzi che si vedono sui social non sono certo un'idea originale dei nostri tempi. Guardate che pose si sono inventati questi inglesi in piena epoca vittoriana.

Gertrude Käsebier (1852-1934) established herself in the 1890s as one of the first professional women photographers. Above is her 1901 study of the 16-year-old Evelyn Nesbit, regarded as the most sensational beauty of her day – at the height of the Gibson Girl craze – who had famous men literally murdering each other for her favors. Käsebier specialized in portraits, but most of her subjects led more tranquil lives than Evelyn Nesbit. "I earnestly advise women of artistic tastes to train for the unworked field of modern photography. It seems to be especially adapted to them, and the few who have entered it are meeting a gratifying and profitable success." – quoted in Gertrude Käsebier : The Photographer and Her Photographs by Barbara L. Michaels (New York : Abrams, 1992)

One could plainly see four legs dangling beyond the hem of her dress – only one pair belonged to her, the other set to her dipygus sister.
W XIX wieku kobiety z wyższych sfer raczej rzadko były dobrymi matkami. Brakowało poradników, gazet i prawidłowych wzorów czerpanych z otoczenia. Bardzo często dzieci traktowały jak lalki. – Każda chc

Пикториали́зм (англ. pictorialism, от англ. pictorial — живописный) — течение в европейском и американском фотографическом искусстве конца XIX — начала ХХ вв., подчеркивавшее в фотографии те черты, которые сближали ее с живописью и графикой эпохи (импрессионизм, живопись прерафаэлитов, символизм,…
Puede que los tiempos cambien, pero siempre hay cosas que permanecen en el mismo estado inalterado. Como por ejemplo, el amor. Normalmente, cuando nos despedimos de una persona especial, sabemos a ciencia cierta que volveremos a verla. Sin embargo, en tiempos de guerra, esto no siempre era así. Muchos combatientes tenían que partir al frente, […]

Behind the number 12, rue Chabanais, a typical building on a typical back street not far from the Musée du Louvre in Paris, used to be one of the most notorious and prestigious bordellos of the golden era. Today, it's an apartment building, but just across the road at number 11, an inconspicuous lit
Mark Twain, a fellow who made his mark with literary humor and entertainment, once said, “A photograph is a most important document, and there is nothing more damning to go down to posterity than a silly, foolish smile caught and fixed forever.” There are a ton of given reasons why Victorians didn’t smile in photos, such as long exposure times, high costs for having portraits taken, poor dental hygiene, and, perhaps most importantly, it was simply seen as bad etiquette. But luckily, there’s still some evidence that Victorians just couldn’t help cracking a smile or breaking the usual stiff pose every now and then.

The lowly potato gave the world sustenance, French fries, and would you believe color photography? In 1903, two French inventors and photographers, Auguste and Louis Lumière, used the potato as the basis for their patented process in creating color photographs, or Autochromes as they were called. It was a simple but ingenious technique—crush potatoes into tiny particles; separate these minuscule starch particles into three; add red, violet and green dye; mix onto a glass plate; brush off the excess; flatten the dyed particles onto the plate between two rollers—thus creating microscopic color filters; fill in any gaps with soot; brush with light-sensitive silver bromide. Voila! You have a photographic plate ready to take color pictures. The Lumières were also behind early advances in motion pictures but the brothers thought there was no future in movies and stuck to developing color photography. By 1907, the Lumières’ technique had proved so successful it infected the photographic world with “color fever.” Photographers across Europe and America (including talented amateurs like Gustave Eiffel better known for his Parisien tower) started producing a gallery’s worth of pictures—from portraits to nudes. To get an idea of scale, take for example...
