Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fine art of Hand-Painted photography by New England's favorite son photographer, Charels Henry Sawyer (1868-1954), is well presented in this biography. Twelve beautiful color plates, and numerous black and white images, are included in this book. Born in Norridgewock, Maine, in 1868, Charles Henry Sawyer began his art career as a portrait artist, painter and photographer in Providence, Rhode Island. In the late 1890s, he worked as a pencil artist for the New York Tribune and as a photographer and painter with Wallace Nutting, the best known painter of black and white photographs. The book chronicles the development of photography, beginning with black and white Daguerreotypes in 1839 through the introduction of color film in the mid 1930s. The painting of black and white photographs was done to correct errors in the print; to change the composition of the print; but primarily, to add color to otherwise black and white images. This volume includes an updated value guide.

Download or read book Adirondack Photographers 1850 1950 written by Sally E. Svenson and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as the new technology of photography was emerging throughout the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, it caught hold in the scenic Adirondack region of upstate New York. Young men and a few women began to experiment with cameras as a way to earn their livings with local portrait work. From photographing individuals, some expanded their subject matter to include families and groups, homes, streetscapes, landmarks, workplaces, and important events—from town celebrations to presidential visits, train wrecks, floods, and fires. These photographers from within and just beyond the park’s borders, as well as those based in the urban areas from which tourists came to the Adirondacks, have been central in defining the region. Adirondack Photographers, 1850–1950 is a comprehensive look at the first one hundred years of photography through the lives of those who captured this unique rural region of New York State. Svenson’s fascinating biographical dictionary of more than two hundred photographers is enriched with over seventy illustrations. While the popularity of some of these photographers is reflected in the number of their images held in the collections of the Library of Congress, the New York Public Library, and the Getty Museum, little is known about the diverse backgrounds of the individuals behind their work. A compilation of captivating stories, Adirondack Photographers provides a vivid, intimate account of the evolution of photography, as well as an unusual perspective on Adirondack history.

Download or read book The Painted Photograph 1839 1914 written by Heinz K. Henisch and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As photography grew more popular following its invention in 1839, its admirers did not understand how a medium that rendered shapes and textures in exquisite detail could fail to render them in realistic color. Also disappointing was the tendency of the captured images to fade over time. Photographers, ever eager to please their public, began "painting" their photographs with substances ranging from water colors and oil to chalk and crayon. Images were enlarged, enhanced, and framed, to simulate the splendors of the traditional portrait. With its rich variety of illustrations in color and duotone, The Painted Photograph is the first comprehensive history of overpainting, from its origins to World War I. The 131 illustrations featured draw upon original nineteenth- and early twentieth-century sources, most from America and Britain, but also representing Japan, Turkey, Austria, Germany, Poland, Canada, Bohemia, India, Australia, Norway, Holland, and Russia. In describing a multitude of early techniques, the authors survey overpainting on various types of photographs, including daguerreotypes, tintypes, and imprinted porcelain, milk glass, enamel, magic lantern slides, and textiles. Particularly fascinating are discussions of overpainted death portraits, most commonly those of children, and the origins of popular "picture postcards" featuring overpainted landscape scenes. The Henisches address also the eager acceptance of the painted photograph throughout the world, despite the hostility of the art-critical establishment. The Painted Photograph will appeal to a wide public interested in photography, history, sociology, social anthropology, folk art, popular fashion, and antiques.
