In What Photographs Do, @dalzielproject analyses how image technologies of photography and wood engraving were used together, as a linked ecology, in the c19 to translate a wide range of museum objects for illustration. #openaccess download: https://t.co/9Qw33YqntC

@lcale2 @DrVickyMills Thank you 😃 I'm fascinated by the wood engravings made for museums. Here's another Dalziel made for the South Kensington Museum. This one reproduces a panel from William Morris's green dining room at the V&A. I'd love to know which museum publication it was for, if anyone knows.

In our new @UCLpress book, @dalzielproject analyses how ‘image technologies of photography and wood engraving were used together, as a linked ecology, in the nineteenth century to translate a wide range of museum objects for illustration.’ 🧵

@Ravilious2 @UCLpress It is such a fascinating book! I love how you and Elizabeth Edwards explore the strange shifting status of photography in museum history. The guard books are amazing. And I love this photograph of a Romanian brooch in Erika Lederman's essay on Cowper...

@Ravilious2 @bethankstevens @britishmuseum Thank you! 😃 I really love the album page you photographed - extracts from Dalziel's 785 wood engravings for The Great Exhibition of 1851 - catalogue published by The Art Journal

[British Museum @britishmuseum]

From Pre-Raphaelite fantasies of Arthurian legends to Alice adventuring in Wonderland, the Victorian visual imagination was captured by the Brothers Dalziel.

Established in 1839, they became the most successful wood-engraving company in Britain: https://t.co/kytppkaoKh

@murray_seccombe Hello @murray_seccombe, I just saw this - how exciting! Did you see the exhibition? Hope you liked it. There is lots more info in the book too. Which Dalziel are you descended from?

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

Dalziel book arrived in the post this afternoon! Very excited to see it :)

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

@Lost_Visions Thanks! 😃 The front cover image is magnified a lot (it's a detail from a print about 6 cm high): it's incredibly the fineness of detail they engraved...

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

@CatherineDaunt Thank you! 😃

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

Dr Susannah Walker gave the students at @BACA_UK some lovely feedback of their work, discussing the myriad ways art can be approached.

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

@BHLibraries asked students to create their own Victorian characters inspired by David Copperfield illustrations. Results included a steam powered wooden robot and pickpockets!

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

In the activity with @richdwragg, students wrote a letter about a recent event, thinking about their audience and what it would mean for someone to read their words a hundred years in the future.

[dalzielproject @dalzielproject]

@richdwragg and @BACA_UK students read letters from 11 year old Midshipman George Perceval to his parents, written in 1806. They thought about changes in his handwriting and how his tone altered when writing to his mother.
