Visual Delights Two: Exhibition And Reception

Visual Delights II covers many aspects of popular and visual culture in the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods. Contributors consider topics as diverse as 19th-century circus performers, early cinema exhibition practice, "penny dreadfuls," lantern culture, early color experiments, and popular photography. Lavishly illustrated, this interdisciplinary book provides a rich visual resource for the further study of 19th-century visual culture and performance practice.
