William Notman's Photographic Selections (1863)
|
| Abstract |
An examination of Montreal photographer William Notman's (1826-1891) book Photographic Selections, a portfolio published by Montreal printer John Lovell in 1863 for approximately 360 subscribers. It was the first art history book printed in Canada. The author points out that the selection of forty-seven plates included two of Notman's own landscape images, "Fort Chambly, near Montreal, q.c." (1863) and "Road Side, Lake of Two Mountains", as well as ten photographic copies of engravings after Renaissance and Baroque paintings and twenty-seven photographs of pictures by contemporary British, French and American artists, some of which came from local collectors. The remaining eight images of recent British and North American paintings in Montreal collections were originally photographed by Notman.
