… little pictures …<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. Ev and future editor Bob Lansdale visited the GEH in 1993 to join the Daguerreian Society’s 5th annual symposium. The symposium speakers were reviewed in issue 19-4 by Renat\u00e9 Wickens-Feldman who taught photography in the Department of Visual Arts at Toronto’s York University.<\/p>\n

She begins her article as follows, “On October 15-17, Rochester’s George Eastman House<\/em> (GEH) was the site of the Fifth Annual Symposium of The Daguerreian Society<\/a>. The meeting, held in conjunction with the Regional Photographic History Group, was complemented by five exhibitions at Eastman House and two at The Strong Museum.<\/p>\n

“Most notable were the Eastman House’s ‘Now and Then: Making the Daguerreotype’ and ‘Language of Light: Masterworks from the Collection.’<\/p>\n

“The 213 participants at the event (a three- fold increase over the turnout at the original 1988 gathering) were also treated to an optically dizzying 48 table Trade Fair featuring daguerreotypes and, to a lesser extent , antique photographs. The Fair, in turn contributed $5700 toward publishing the Daguerreian Annual.”<\/p>\n

The title of this post is a put down remark by a ‘seminal historian’ who ‘is reported to have dismissed these daguerreotypes as “little pictures, difficult to see, of people no one cares much about.”<\/p>\n
