Napoleon Sarony's Living Pictures persuasively links Sarony's work to a set of major conceptual questions in the history of the photography of the last third of the nineteenth century, offering an archivally intensive and contextually rich account of a major-but understudied-photographer of this period. -Jordan Bear, Associate Professor of Art History, University of Toronto Erin Pauwels brilliantly analyzes the ways that Napoleon Sarony's late nineteenth-century renown as a celebrity portrait photographer was finely attuned to the emerging medial and consumer cultures of his time. Her wide-ranging interdisciplinary scholarship and extensive original research authoritatively place Sarony within American and global contexts of cultural mobility, nationalism, and technological change. -Joanne Lukitsh, Massachusetts College of Art and Design
