Lot 141

VICTORIAN PHOTOCOLLAGE. A young aristocratic woman's photograph album, 1880s, embellished with creative and sometimes whimsical collages of watercolour, ink and albumen prints. Compiled by Nety Hambro of Milton Abbey, Dorset [now Milton Abbey School], family home of merchant banker Carl Joachim Hambro [founder of Hambros Bank]. Quarto (31 x 25cm), full crushed morocco lettered in gilt with compiler's forename, heavy card leaves, all edges gilt, 43 pages featuring albumen prints, 20 of which are collages with manuscript illustrations by various women, some signed by Nety Hambro herself. The album commences with a photograph of Nety in a pony & trap with her dog, whilst her father stands in the doorway with his own dog, captioned "Self & Rosie, Father & Tommy, 1885". There are several views of Milton Abbey, including what Nety has captioned "My sitting room". Internally good with pale spotting, some dusty toning around upper corners, slight cockling, binding solid with some scuffs & wear to morocco The following passage provides some historical context to this type of photocollage: ‘Sixty years before the embrace of collage techniques by avant-garde artists of the early twentieth century, aristocratic Victorian women were already experimenting with photocollage. The compositions they made with photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and morphing faces into common household objects. Such images, often made for albums, reveal the educated minds as well as the accomplished hands of their makers. With sharp wit and dramatic shifts of scale akin to those Alice experienced in Wonderland, these images stand the rather serious conventions of early photography on their heads.’ [The Met, Playing with Pictures: The Art of Victorian Photocollage, February 2 - May 9, 2010]
