The truth of appearances: nineteenth-century photography at the Getty
Reviews the two recent exhibitions at the Getty Center in Los Angeles entitled The Art of the Daguerreotype at the J. Paul Getty Museum (14 April-12 July 1998) and Framing the Asian Shore: Nineteenth-Century Photographs of the Ottoman Empire at the Getty Research Institute for the History of Art and the Humanities (28 March-30 June 1998), and questions the criteria by which the organizers selected 125 images out of the Getty's collection of 2000, which also appear in a recent book published by the Getty Museum, entitled The Silver Canvas: Daguerreotype Masterpieces from the J. Paul Getty Museum (1998). The author considers the wall texts and assesses their value in providing additional information for the viewer. She criticizes the sentimental tone of the labels accompanying the daguerreotypes, and the treatment of the daguerreotype as a rare and precious object, rather than a common, everyday form of photography and a cheaper replacement of the miniature portrait, as it was in the 19th century. She accuses the authors of the book of unnecessary description of the images, projection of emotions onto the subjects, and a judgemental attitude towards the social relations displayed in the image, and concludes by attacking the joint venture of the exhibition and the book as masking the distinction between technology and ideological content, thereby sacrificing scholarship to aestheticism.

After an hour or so the Baker followers who had not spent the night rode in, and after what seemed like an interminable wait Judge Cook rode up and went into the courthouse. He was followed by
