Photographic images published in books and newspapers show how early British photographers represented racial and class differences in their work
Geoffrey Batchen: Photographic images published in books and newspapers show how early British photographers represented racial and class differences in their work Abstract: An exclusive focus on surviving photographs has allowed scholars to ignore the degree to which early British photographers represented signs of racial and class difference. By looking at photographic images published in books and newspapers, this paper will seek out those signs to consider how such differences were given visual form. A study of this kind will reveal yet another facet of photography as a social and political phenomenon within 19th-century British life.
