Title
William Notman’s Portraits of Children
Abstract
A study of William Notman’s photographs of children taken between 1856 and 1891 in his Montreal studio. The author examines the portraits in terms of their commercial origins, their relation to the painted portrait, the iconography of the photographic portrait and the work of other portraitists. The author points out that her analysis of the portraits reveals Notman's reliance on the conventions developed over the centuries for the painted portrait and more particularly the iconographic influence of the court portrait. Notman adapted these conventions to suit the requirements of his medium and his clients.
