520 1 $a"Human heads on animal bodies, people in fanciful landscapes, faces that are deftly morphed into common household objects - these are among the Victorian experiments in photocollage explored in this marvelous book. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale, these images flouted the serious conventions of photography in the 1860s and 1870s. Often made by women for albums, they reveal the educated minds and accomplished hands of their makers. Although these photocollages may seem wonderfully odd to us now, they are perfectly in keeping with a Victorian sensibility that embraced juxtaposition and variety." "This book, the first to comprehensively examine the phenomenon of Victorian photocollage, presents imagery that has rarely - and, in many cases, never-been displayed or reproduced. Illuminating text provides a history of Victorian photocollage albums, identifies common motifs, and demonstrates the distincely modern character of the medium, which paved the way for the future avant-garde potential of both photography and collage."--BOOK JACKET.
