Visual Delights II: Exhibition and Reception

by Vanessa Toulmin (Editor), Simon Popple (Editor)

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.
