Hi everyone! Any ideas? I am currently compiling profiles of artists whose work is discussed or illustrated in our digitizations of The Studio (1893-1922) and International Studio (1897-1921). These contain several examples of work by contemporary photographers. Can anyone suggest a good source of biographical information on nineteenth and early 20th century photographers, particularly minor salonš photographers? We have a pretty good reference library, however, it is rather weak when it comes to photography. Printed sources we have in our library include: > Browne, Turner and Partnow, Elaine. Macmillan biographical cyclopedia of > photographic artists & innovators. (New York, NY: Macmillan Publishing > Company, 1982) > > The Oxford Companion to the Photograph. Edited by Robert Lenman. (London: > Oxford University Press, 2005) > These tend to focus on well documented photographers rather than the lesser known figures. Išve come across one site: Watch the Birdie Blog. The World of the Victorian Photographer: http://qvictoria.wordpress.com/victorian-photographers-ad-av/ however, this contains little biographical information and misses out many names I would be very grateful for suggestions as to printed sources we could acquire or other online sources we could consult.
