I first started to collect Victorian albumen photographs when I lived in England. Most were local landscapes but some were of exotic and faraway places. Those photographs were brought home as souvenirs or it was possible that they were sold by a local bookseller for the arm chair traveler to view the world from a distance.


The appeal of this work is the separation of the content from the creator: there is no personal myth or story arc that glosses; judgment can be made without the embellishment of creative polish.
