Did St. Louis really have a horse-drawn wagon delivering lantern slides to
educational contexts in 1905?
Why did Prince Albert of England collect documentary photographs?
Were plaster casts of famous artworks likened to mechanical vulgarities
such as player-pianos?
Why were famous architects running around with cameras like crazed tourists
in the early 1900s?
What might these early forms of instructional image collection and
dissemination possibly have in common with our high tech digital images?
We invite you to find the answers to these puzzling questions and more in
Session V at the ARLIS/VRA joint conference in St. Louis entitled
"Property and Capital in 19th and Early 20th Century Visual Collections:
Tales in Search of the History of the Visual Copy as a Gateway to the Future".
A distinguished panel of experts start the discussion at 10 AM on Sunday,
March 24th, 2002. There's books in this one too!
Hope to see you there in St. Louis!
