This book is the first in-depth and longitudinal study of the
history of copyright protecting the visual arts. Exploring legal
developments during an important period in the making of the modern
law, the mid-nineteenth to early twentieth centuries, in relation
to four themes - the protection of copyright 'authors' (painters,
photographers and engravers), art collectors, sitters and the
public interest - it uncovers a number of long-forgotten narratives
of copyright history, including views of copyright that differ from
how we think today. As well as considering the distinct nature of
the contribution of copyright to the history of the cultural domain
accounted for by scholars of art history and the sociology of art,
this book examines the value to lawyers and policy-makers today of
copyright history as a destabilising influence: in taking us to
ways of thinking that differ from our own, history can sharpen the
critical lens through which we view copyright debates today.
