Albumen
Definition

-The first method of photographic printing that made use of a negative.

-The albumen found in egg whites bonds photographic chemicals to paper.

-Very sensitive process, reacts to temperature change and can mold overtime. Start printing negatives onto glass for a far less grainy result.

-Duplicable.

1847: first Albumen process published in France
1850: Later evolved into wet-collodion process which was faster and more sensitive, published by Frederick Scott Archer

Term
Frederick Scott Archer
Definition

England

Invented the photographic wet collodion process around 1850 which increased the accessibility of photography to the general public


Term


Walter Benjamin
Definition

Germany

German philosopher, essayist, literary critic who wrote that essay we read for class.
Discusses photography as a democratic medium bc anyone can do it (unlike drawing, painting, and sculpting); thoroughly undermines the definition of art forever --- A reproduced image doesn’t have the same essence or aura that the original artwork had/has --- Mass production of photography? --- The more rare a work of art is = The more value it holds.
PHOTOGRAPHY AS TRUTH
Photo: captures, records, documents moments.
Traditional Art: comes from perspective; isn’t always accurate or true.

Term
Camera Lucida
Definition
Optical device that superimposes the view the artist is drawing onto his or her drawing surface. “Light Room” in Latin. Talbot’s Villa Mezi

Definition
Small (2.125 in x 3.5 in) photograph usually made of an albumen print mounted to thick card board. Became enormously popular and people traded them among friends --- Very popular in the American Civil War
Term
Collodion/ “Wet Collodion”
Definition


1851, used as an alternative to albumen (egg-white) on glass plates. Tremendously reduced exposure time. Allowed for one of the first high-quality duplication process, negatives --- Produced EXTREMELY clear images --- Highly Portable!

Term
Cyanotype
Definition
1842, invented by John Herschel. Photographic printing process that gives a cyan-blue print. Discovered by Herschel in 1842
Objects placed in coated paper create a silhouette effect.
Term

Term
Daguerre
Definition

France

French artist and physicist known as one of the fathers of photography for inventing the daguerreotype. Developer of diorama theatre. --- His research in photographic processes with Niepce was supported by the French government.

Term
Daguerreotype
Definition

1839, First commercially successful photographic process --- French government purchased patent from Daguerre then freely shared the process with the world. Direct positive made in camera on a silvered copper plate --- NON-REPRODUCIBLE --- Were both cheap and easily accessible for the people creating them as well as people who wanted their portraits captured.

 

Term
Diorama
Definition
A theatrical experience viewed by an audience in a highly specialized theatre. As many as 350 patrons would file in to view a landscape painting that would change its appearance both subtly and dramatically
Term
Phantasmagoria
Definition


A form of theatre which used a modified magic lantern to project frightening images such as skeletons, demons, and ghosts onto walls, smoke, or semi-transparent screens, frequently using rear projection.
Term
Photogenic Drawing
Definition
Talbot’s initial description of the process to his friend John Herschel --- Term used to describe photography before it became “photography”
Term
Photograph
Definition
An image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface --- The term “Photography” comes from HERSCHEL who also helped Talbot develop his fixing process to produce clearer images.
Term
Stereopticon
Definition
Slide projector or "magic lantern", which has two lenses, usually one above the other --- As it developed and improved over time, it also led to the invention of “moving pictures” (movies/films)
Term
Calotype/Talbotype
Definition
In this technique, a sheet of paper coated with silver chloride was exposed to light in a camera obscura; those areas hit by light became dark in tone, yielding a negative image. The revolutionary aspect of the process lay in Talbot's discovery of a chemical ( gallic acid) that could be used to "develop" the image on the paper --- Introduced to the public AFTER Daguerreotypes --- He charged people to share the process with them whereas Daguerre’s was offered freely to any person; thus Talbotypes weren’t very successful (financially)
Term
Tintype
Definition
A photograph made by creating a direct positive on a sheet of iron metal that is blackened by painting, lacquering or enamelling and is used as a support for a collodionphotographic emulsion.
Term

Term
William Henry Fox Talbot
Definition
British inventor and photography pioneer who invented the calotype process, a precursor to photographic processes of the 19th and 20th centuries.

“The Lattice Window” --- 1835 --- First successful negative image - Approx. Size: Large Postage Stamp
“Talbotype” (1841)--- Introduced to public after the Daguerreotype; Not very successful as he charged for others to use his process whereas Daguerre’s process was free to the general public.
