At a time when photographic album-making is being re-vitalised by digital technologies, this book rewrites the history of photographic albums, placing the female collector at its centre and offering an alternative history of photography focused on its uses rather than on its aesthetic or artistic considerations.
Contents: Introduction; The family album, the feminine and the personal; 19th-century album culture; Photographs, albums, women's magazines; Melancholic portrait gazers; Photographs, fun and flirtations; Photography, vision and touch; Bibliography; Index.
