The essays open onto myriad forms of art-making, illuminating crucial debates in nineteenth-century aesthetics. The book’s introduction offers an indispensable historiography of the subject. Photography and the Arts makes a valuable contribution to the art history of photography. * Rachel Teukolsky, Associate Professor of English, Vanderbilt University, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThe reader comes away from the texts with a number of useful insights. Images and—more specifically—objects presented through the category of art did not just make beauty and philosophy possible in a medium closely associated with the mechanical and the functional. Beauty, in other words, often served—intentionally or not—as a fig leaf in photographs with other agendas seemingly well outside the realm of art. Establishing this fact, along with making fundamental additions to our historical knowledge of photography, represents the volume’s primary contribution. * Nineteenth-Century Art Worldwide *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS NOTES ON CONTRIBUTORS INTRODUCTION \u003cb\u003eJuliet Hacking and Joanne Lukitsh \u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003ePART ONE: THE ARTS OF REPRODUCTION \u003c\/b\u003e 1.
