In the mid-1860s Arthur J Munby began to collect the first
mass-produced photographic images of working-class women in
England, recording fascinating details about the women, the places
he purchased the photographs and the raging debates on this new
commercial practice of photography, in accompanying diaries. Many
of these images - not to mention Munby's fascinating diaries - have
never been published before. This book examines this previously
un-investigated archive, offering a fresh and arresting perspective
on the interrelationships between photographic representations of
working-class women, the creation of new identities of class and
gender and the evolution of popular conceptions of photography
itself.
