博客來This is Volume 2 of a series of photographs documenting the ＂Gems of the Art Treasures Exhibition＂ held in Manchester, England, in 1857. The photographs, taken by Robert Howlett, offer a rare glimpse into this significant art exhibition of the 19th century. Published in 1858, the collection showcases not only the artworks displayed but also the early techniques of photographic reproduction.
The images were produced in collaboration with P. & D. Colnaghi & Co, Thos. Agnew and Sons Ltd, and Caldesi & Montecchi, highlighting the collaborative nature of art documentation during this period. This volume serves as an invaluable historical record for those interested in art history, photography, and the cultural landscape of Victorian England. The ＂Gems of the Art Treasures Exhibition＂ photographs capture a moment in time when art became more accessible through new technologies.
