Sitter and Subject in Nineteenth Century Photography
Thursday October 18, 2012 from 10:00am - 8:00pm
St Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts
225 Beach Dr Ne
St Petersburg, Florida 33701 Get Directions
This exhibition features some 60 nineteenth-century daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes. Flawless artistic and studio portraits will be on view. Highlights include a rare portrait of James Cutting, the inventor of the ambrotype, by Mathew Brady and a pair of important full-plate daguerreotype portraits by Southworth and Hawes on loan from The Dandrew-Drapkin Collection. Other formal portraits of sitters are an elegant likeness of a lady by John Jabez Edwin Mayall and a playful photograph of Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky by Alphonse Plumier. In contrast to these formal portraits, the exhibition also presents images of anonymous subjects, mainly workers and models made by unknown "operators."
