  • Author : Adolphe Smith
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2014-11-01
  • ISBN : 9781910144268
  • Pages : 380 pages

Download or read book Street Life in London written by Adolphe Smith and published by . This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street Life in London (1877-78), by journalist Adolphe Smith and photographer John Thomson, aimed to reveal by the innovative use of photography and essays the conditions of a life of poverty in London. Now regarded as a pioneering photo-text and a foundational work of socially conscious photography - "one of the most significant and far-reaching photobooks in the medium's history" (The Photobook: A History) - Street Life in London failed to achieve commercial success in its own time. In this groundbreaking book, we see the start, but not the conclusion, of a conversation between text and image in the service of education, reportage and social justice. This newly designed and typeset edition contains the full text and makes available to a contemporary audience Thomson's powerful images in their original size and rich colour.

Book Thomas Brock

Download or read book Thomas Brock written by Ian Thompson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-08-23 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace is a national icon, yet few have heard of its sculptor, Thomas Brock. He left school at 12 to be an apprentice at the Worcester Royal Porcelain Works, then joined the London studio of John Henry Foley. He completed the figure of the Prince Consort for the Albert Memorial after Foleys death. One of the young sculptors encouraged by Sir Frederic Leighton, he became famous for his lifelike portrait statues of Queen Victoria, Edward VII, Gladstone, Millais and other public figures. Chosen in 1901 as sole sculptor of the Victoria Memorial, he was knighted by King George V at its unveiling in 1911. Brocks remarkable story is told by his son Frederick in this entertaining biography, written in the 1920s and now published by permission of the Victoria and Albert Museum. A highly readable and intriguing perspective on a sculptors life in the late 19th and early 20th century, one which reveals as much about the art world of his time as about the individual whose life forms its subject. John Sankey has worked extensively on Brock and his edition of these memoirs is exemplary. Dr Marjorie Trusted (Senior Curator of Sculpture, Victoria & Albert Museum) An astonishingly thorough record of the life of a sculptor who, a hundred years back, distilled from European traditions an idiom which now seems to be the appropriate indeed almost the only imaginable backdrop to royal ceremonial. In bringing this record to a wider readership, John Sankey reveals some of the less well-known facets of Brocks extensive sculptural oeuvre, disseminated around the globe from Copenhagen to Wellington (NZ) Philip Ward-Jackson (formerly Conway Librarian, Courtauld Institute of Art)

The Encyclopedia presents new and ground-breaking research alongside accounts of the major established figures in the nineteenth century arena.

The sheer breadth of coverage in the 1200 essays makes the Encyclopedia of Nineteenth-Century Photography an essential reference source for academics, students, researchers and libraries worldwide.
