Description:
This research looks at late 19th and early 20th century archaeological imagery in the form of lantern slides and photographs that were collected, duplicated, exchanged and consumed within wider academic and social networks, linking universities, learned societies and individual scholars. I focus on the archaeology of the Aegean, currently examining the lantern slide teaching collection at Oxford University and the photographic collection at the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies. I look at the production of imagery set within a wider cultural framework, at how the images are incorporated into the visual economy of the time, at the subsequent history of the collections, and at the dissemination and consumption of imagery in research, teaching and public demonstration. |
