Description

Explore the rare photographic legacy of Clementina, Viscountess Hawarden (1822-1865) through this compelling volume from Duke University Press. During her brief life, Lady Hawarden produced over eight hundred photographs, primarily focusing on portraits of her adolescent daughters. By removing the typical furniture and decorative items found in Victorian upper-class homes, she turned her London sitting room into a unique photographic studio. In this work, Carol Mavor examines these images as windows into Victorian culture, examining themes of eroticism, mother-daughter relationships, and intimacy. The collection offers a dramatic look at private spaces and the use of fancy dress in early photography. This book is an essential resource for those interested in the history of photography, Victorian social studies, and the personal lives of historical figures. This specific copy is a used book in good condition, making it an accessible addition to any art or history collection.
