The 1861 collaboration between physicist James Clerk Maxwell and
photographer Thomas Sutton was a landmark episode in the history of
optics and photography, resulting in the famous "Tartan ribbon"
image: the first permanent color photograph in history. This
focused and incisive study from Maxwell scholar Jordi Cat
reassesses this partnership, situating it within the histories of
objectivity, experiment, and collaboration. Cat reveals that
Maxwell and Sutton were closer to true partners than has commonly
been assumed, and shows how their experiments illuminate the role
of Victorian technology, representational practices, and modes of
participation in Maxwell's natural philosophy.
