A deep dive into the pioneering collection of nineteenth-century
French photographs, equipment, and ephemera, which is a cornerstone
of the George Eastman Museum In the early twentieth century,
Parisian photographer, amateur historian, and collector Gabriel
Cromer (1873-1934) amassed a collection that traced photography's
prehistory, invention, and development to about 1890. His dream was
to found a national museum of the photographic arts in France.
Although Cromer's ambition was never realized, his collection was
central to establishing the world's first museum dedicated to
photography: the George Eastman Museum. The Cromer Collection of
Nineteenth-Century French Photography considers the origin and
circulation of the collection as well as the influence it has had
on photography as a field of study. The book's six essays, written
by French and American scholars, explore the Cromer Collection's
complex passage across markets, borders, and functions. For more
than half a century, curators and scholars worldwide have drawn
extensively on the Gabriel Cromer Collection for exhibitions and
publications; this book provides the first focused scholarly study
of the foundational resource. Published in association with the
George Eastman Museum
