My fee...That's a fascinating question, Michael. My feeling is that there were people photographing social subjects earlier than Jacob Riis (Hine came after), but there was an important difference in emphasis.<br /><br />There were images of poverty in Victorian photography before, but they tended to sentimentalise the experience of the poor in the manner of Victorian Realist painting. Riis and Hine can be a bit sentimental to our eyes, but are still rather dry and recognisably modern.<br /><br />A Scottish photographer called John Thomson was instrumental in establishing the genre of social documentary photography, but the images are suffused with a Victorian sense of pity, as if to say "isn't it terrible, here's a few coppers for the poor box".<br /><br />I think also of Eugene Atget in France. <br /><br />Riis and Hine (and the photographers of the FSA in the Depression) say something about the social context of the US, a period of massive immigration and inequality - that is, social mobility. In Europe the social classes were thought of as more fixed and even permanent.<br /><br />Which begs another question. If this was the era of social reformist movements in Europe and the rise of trade unions, where were the photographers? I'll have to think about that one.Crritic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02873377505087648925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12955484.post-10146231948439960692009-10-20T11:47:40.163+11:002009-10-20T11:47:40.163+11:00Thanks for the shout-out, Sean.

So far as I know, there was nothing comparable in the UK.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12955484.post-5402838320360363162009-08-26T03:12:12.079+10:002009-08-26T03:12:12.079+10:00Interesting.

Many are not on Gage directly, but rather people or places related to him. FOR MORE INFORMATION including how these relate to Phineas, please visit www.deakin.edu.au/hmnbs/psychology/gagepage/PgQuestn.php .<br /> <br />Information might be in letters and diaries; medical and business records; town, police and court files; local newspapers; or in the archives of churches, hospitals and literary, professional, historical and genealogical societies. We especially hope organizations will search their one-of-a-kind materials not published in book form.<br /><br />IN CHILE (1852-60): We want to know about Drs. William and Henry Trevitt, Masonic lodges, Methodist churches, and English-language newspapers, schools and businesses. Do you know anyone who can help with such things?<br /><br />IN NEW ENGLAND (1848-54): Can you find newspaper or diary accounts of Phineas’ accident, of his travels exhibiting himself and his “iron,” or of his reported preaching at Methodist revivals in Sterling, Mass.? In Concord, NH records of the Abbot-Downing coachworks could identify “three enterprising New Englanders” who may have set up the coach line for which Phineas drove in Chile; in Hanover you might discover Phineas’ duties at Currier’s Inn, or a Dartmouth professor who met him; and somewhere in Wilton may be the papers of Henry Trevitt.<br /><br />IN CALIFORNIA (1860- ): Where is the missing undertaker’s ledger showing where Gage died? What can you discover about Dr. William Jackson Wentworth (Alameda Co.) or the papers of Joseph Stalder (d.1931)? Are you descended from Phineas’s nieces/nephew Hannah, Delia, Mary, Alice, or Frank B.Shattuck? Can we learn more about Frank at the School for the Deaf? <br /><br />IN OHIO (1860- ): Can you find anything about Henry Trevitt’s time at Starling Medical College in Columbus, Prof. J.W. Hamilton, or William Trevitt’s papers?<br /><br />ANYWHERE: If you are related to the Cowdrey, Davis, Ames, or Kimball families, are you also related to Phineas’ doctor, John Martyn Harlow? Do you know of ship passenger lists (Boston, New York, Chile, Panama, S.F.) that might show Gage family movements? Do you have Gold Rush ancestors who stopped in Valparaiso, Chile? And of course, letters mentioning Gage could have gone anywhere.<br /><br />There are more clues in Stillwater and Northfield, MN; Santa Clara, San Rafael, and S.F., CA; Cavendish, Castleton, Woodstock, and Burlington, VT; Lebanon and Enfield, NH; Albany, NY, Buda, IL, the National Library of Medicine, and other places. At www.deakin.edu.au/hmnbs/psychology/gagepage/PgQuestn.php are details on how you can help by following such clues. Your help or inquiries to malcolm.macmillan@unimelb.edu.au will be very much appreciated.<br /><br />We would be pleased to assist teachers (in New England, S.F., even Chile?) in creating a class project involving students’ search for family papers or local lore about Gage.Matthew L Lena (Boston)http://www.deakin.edu.au/hmnbs/psychology/gagepage/PgQuestn.phpnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12955484.post-68807997589276873062009-07-11T18:22:20.816+10:002009-07-11T18:22:20.816+10:00It's probably something like "When the fe...It's probably something like "When the feline revolution comes, shall this one be saved?
