Excerpt from Pictorial Photography in America, 1920 Some Of the advantages which photography ohers are worth restating. It helps to draw one closer to nature and to seek fresh air. Through the exercise and culti vation Of Choice, it teaches how to decorate? The home, to dress with taste, and to keep an alert eye and mind on the passing events Of the world. Because the Associa tion knows that photography is able to teach these things, it sought the aid of art museums and public libraries to conduct photographic exhibitions so that children and adults may not only see fine examples of the work Of the camera in the hands Of artists, but be led thereby to appreciate more fully the value Of photography as an aid to interesting composition and a quickening of the eye in realizing the beauty Of sunlight and shadows which flit around us much unrecognized at times. Succeed ing in gaining the sympathetic co-operation Of seventeen museums, in the winter of 1917-18 the Association collected, from many of the most important workers in this country, more than two hundred prints, which were divided into two groups and exhibited as follows: Minneapolis Institute Of Arts, Milwaukee Art Institute, Art Institute Of Chicago, City Art Museum (st. Louis), Toledo Museum Of Art, Detroit Museum of Art, Cleveland Art Museum, Cincinnati Museum Of Art, Morristown Library, Newark Museum Association, New Britain (conn.) Institute, Worcester Art Museum, Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts, Guild Of Allied Arts Grand Rapids Art Association, University Of Oklahoma, New Orleans Art Association.

At the turn of the 20th century, printing and photographic technologies evolved rapidly, leading to the birth of mass media and the rise of the amateur photographer. Demonstrating how this development happened symbiotically with great changes in the shape of British literature, Writing, Authorship and Photography in British Literary Culture, 1880-1920 explores this co-evolution, showing that as both writing and photography became tools of mass dissemination, literary writers were forced to re-evaluate their professional and personal identities. Focusing on four key authors-Thomas Hardy, Bram Stoker, Joseph Conrad and Virginia Woolf-each of which had their own private and professional connections to photographs, this book offers valuable historical contexts for contemporary cultural developments and anxieties. At first establishing the authors' response to developing technologies through their non-fiction, personal correspondences and working drafts, Ennis moves on to examine how their perceptions of photography extend into their major works of fiction: A Laodicean, Dracula, The Secret Agent, The Inheritors and The Voyage Out. Reflecting on the first 'graphic revolution' in a world where text and image are now reproduced digitally and circulated en masse and online, Ennis redirects our attention to when image and text appeared alongside each other for the first time and the crises this sparked for authors: how they would respond to increasingly photographic depictions of everyday life, and in turn, how their writing adapted to a distinctly visual mass media.
