In the visual realm, new industrial techniques generated a deluge of affordable pictorial items, mass-printed photographs, posters, cartoons, and illustrations. These alluring objects of the Victorian parlor were miniaturized spectacles that served as portals onto phantasmagoric versions of 'the world.' Although new kinds of pictures transformed everyday life, these ephemeral items have received remarkably little scholarly attention. Picture World shines a welcome new light onto these critically neglected yet fascinating visual objects. They serve as entryways into the nineteenth century's key aesthetic concepts. Each chapter pairs a new type of picture with a foundational keyword in Victorian aesthetics, a familiar term reconceived through the lens of new media. 'Character' appears differently when considered with caricature, in the new comics and cartoons appearing in the mass press in the 1830s; likewise, the book approaches 'realism' through pictorial journalism; 'illustration' via illustrated Bibles; 'sensation' through carte-de-visite portrait photographs; 'the picturesque' by way of stereoscopic views; and 'decadence' through advertising posters. Picture World studies the aesthetic effects of the nineteenth century's media revolution: it uses the relics of a previous era's cultural life to interrogate the Victorian world's most deeply-held values, arriving at insights still relevant in our own media age."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Visual communication $z Great Britain $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Aesthetics, Modern $y 19th century. 650 7 $a Aesthetics, Modern $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00798800 650 7 $a Visual communication $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01167997 651 7 $a Great Britain $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317021845.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B038CC2ACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
