Los Angeles, CA: The J. Paul Getty Museum, 2014. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. 216 pages. From the publisher: "In 1839, just two years after Victoria became queen of Great Britain and Ireland, the medium of photography was announced to the world. This exhibition explores the relationship between the new art and the young queen, whose passion for collecting photographs began in the 1840s and whose photographic image became synonymous with an entire age. With important loans from The Royal Collection shown alongside masterpieces from the Getty Museum, the exhibition displays rare daguerreotypes, private portraits of the Royal Family, and a selection of prints by early masters such as William Henry Fox Talbot, Roger Fenton, and Julia Margaret Cameron." Features texts by Anne M. Lyden, Jennifer Green-Lewis, and Sophie Gordon. A very near fine copy in cloth boards and in a very near fine dust jacket. (Inventory #: 192851)
