Country: Scotland: Glasgow
 
This photograph, taken in Italy in 1894 and also known as The White Friars, is an early example of stop-movement photography made by Annan with a hand-held camera. This plate is a slight variant crop on one made by Annan and reproduced as Plate #2 in the book by Weston Naef (1978) The Collection of Alfred Stieglitz: Fifty Pioneers of Modern Photography (The Metropolitan Museum of Art / The Viking Press) That version shows the entire shadow cast on ground in lower right and more detail in the print.
 
Annan, a contemporary of Stieglitz and important influence on him, was not only a gifted photographer but also a publisher who made his own copper plates for printing photogravures for himself and the family firm: T & R Annan & Sons. Today, the Annan family is still in business- operating The Annan Gallery (a fine art dealer gallery) at 164 Woodlands Road in Glasgow.

One of a set of photographs commissioned by Rossetti. As described by Julian Treuherz, Jane Morris had an extraordinary beauty, 'quite different from the Victorian ideal' which was not an invention,'even his late paintings, often described as exaggerated, are remarkably true to their original'.

Robinson, who had initially trained as a painter, was known for combining multiple negatives to create complex compositions. This photograph provoked controversy when first exhibited: though praised for conveying the family's anxiety as the consumptive child lies dying, it was also criticized for making such an upsetting subject seem too realistic.

Country: France: Paris
 
Tyszkiewicz (born 1862 in Poland) is often identified in photographic reproductions of this period as Graf B. Tyszkiewicz. Graf is German for "count".
 
Juhl (1989-page #294) identifies Tyszkiewicz as a painter who dedicated himself in his palace in Howory/Polon to the history of wall painting. This may well be the same palace in the present day Lithuania (Palanga) where there is a major tourist attraction: a collection of amber numbering over 25,000 examples. It is interesting to note that this photograph and another variant example in the author's photographic archive feature a partial elaborately painted backdrop.

Tyszkiewicz (born 1862 in Poland) is often identified in photographic reproductions of this period as Graf B. Tyszkiewicz, as is evident in the printing attribution for this particular photogravure at the lower left corner. Graf is German for "count". Juhl (1989, page 294) identifies Tyszkiewicz as a painter who dedicated himself in his palace in Howory/Polon to the history of wall painting. This may well be the same palace in the present day Lithuania (Palanga) where there is a major tourist attraction: a collection of amber numbering over 25,000 examples.

Theodor & Oskar Hofmeister (Hamburg)
 
Heliographed (Plate) & Printed by: Georg Buxenstein & Comp. (Berlin)
 
The Brothers Hofmeister photographed an old woman hunched over supported by a cane in 1899. The photograph was transformed via the gum bichromate process into a night scene in 1900. "The brothers Theodor and Oskar Hofmeister frequently used brushes to retouch their photographs. The three prints of their famous Old Woman (figs. 28-30) reveal the successive stages of the process." (Source: Impressionist Camera: Pictorial Photography in Europe, 1888-1918 Merrell Publishers, 2006: p.17.) The three examples of this photograph: gelatin silver, photogravure and gum bichromate can be seen on pages 58-59 of this book.

National Science and Media Museum

[Curatorial description - National Media Museum - December 2011]
 
To produce this photogravure of a horse Eugene used an etching needle to scratch lines onto the surface of the negative, creating a hybrid between a purely photographic image and an etching. Eugene often used graphic techniques to alter a photograph. He would change or replace a background, reduce aspects of the photograph to anonymity or apply highlights with paint.

Renoir: After the luncheon of the boating party
[The French Impressionists]

Color print

In an email Neil Folberg explained the context for this photograph and if it was taken at Maison Fournaise.
 
The answer is that I did go check out the Maison Fournaise and the porch there, but because it was high and a bit small, I would have had to build scaffolding outside the porch to stand on. Also, because it was still an operating restaurant, I would have had to pay to shut it down for two days (had they agreed).
 
What happened is that in my early researches, I was wandering around along the river in the little village of Vétheuil near where Monet had lived sometime before he got involved in his grandiose project at Giverny. Someone who had a house right on the river - Stefan is his name - came down to talk to me and invited me for a drink on his porch which overlooked the Seine … and Stefan is a set designer whose profession is restaurant design. I kept his name for a year or so until I decided to recreate the scene and then went back to see his porch after looking at the Maison Fournaise. It was just so much easier and nicer to work with and he helped create the set. He is seated in the picture with his children and his wife Nina is in the back, the tallest woman standing. She's talking to my good friend Bénedicte. I also used two other friends, Laurent and a cousin of my assistant who is an acting instructor and helped me assign roles to each of the characters. So I was not only recreating the scene of Renoir in a contemporary mode, I was recreating the process, too, where he had used his friends as models and probably had had a pretty good time with them. Believe me, after rehearsing all morning and having a good lunch with plenty of wine we made a party out of this in the late afternoon and by the time we made the shot it wasn't posed - it had become real. That's the story! And I'm still very close friends with Stefan and Nina and Bénedicte … just saw them all last November.(The other people are hired models or actors, some of whom I used in other staged shots).
