Disillusioned. Victorian Photography and the Discerning Subject
Jordan Bear
In Disillusioned: Victorian Photography and the Discerning Subject,
Jordan Bear tells the story of how photographic trickery in the 1850s
and 1860s participated in the fashioning of the modern subject. By
locating specific mechanisms of photographic deception employed by the
leading mid-century photographers within this capacious culture of
discernment, Disillusioned integrates some of the most
striking—and puzzling—images of the Victorian period into a new and
expansive interpretive framework.
