      HUGH WELCH DIAMOND (1809–1886)

      Est: €2,200 - €2,400

      HUGH WELCH DIAMOND (1809–1886) | Roger Fenton, London 1857 | Photogalvanograph, printed in May 1857, on original cardboard 59,8 x 44 cm, image in perfect condition, mount with signs of wear 20 x 15,1 cm Typographic credit by the Photo-galvano-graphic Company Holloway with printing date and handwritten annotation “R. Fenton” in pencil on the mount The electro-engraving printing process invented in 1854 by Paul Pretsch was the beginning of a new era in the history of photography and printing, that of photo-engraving, which saw the publication of photographs in printing ink. Preparation of the plate took about six weeks from which 400-500 copies could be taken using a printing press. The Collotype by photo-galvano-graphic company Holloway shows Roger Fenton (1819–1869) trained as a painter and a lawyer before turning to photography in 1851. He was one of the founders of the Royal Photographic Society, and is best known for his extensive documentation of the Crimean War. Hugh Welch Diamond was a British psychiatrist and photographer who is considered a pioneer of psychiatric photography. Das 1854 von Paul Pretsch erfundene elektrografische Druckverfahren läutete eine neue Ära in der Geschichte der Fotografie und des Drucks ein: die Fotogravur, die die Veröffentlichung von Fotografien in Druckfarbe ermöglichte. Die Herstellung der Platte dauerte etwa sechs Wochen, von der mit Hilfe einer Druckpresse 400-500 Abzüge gemacht werden konnten. Der Lichtdruck der Foto-Galvano-Grafik-Firma Holloway zeigt Roger Fenton (1819–1869), der eine Ausbildung als Maler und Rechtsanwalt absolvierte, bevor er sich 1851 der Fotografie zuwandte. Er war einer der Gründer der Royal Photographic Society und ist vor allem für seine umfangreiche Dokumentation des Krimkriegs bekannt. Hugh Welch Diamond war ein britischer Psychiater und Fotograf, der als Pionier der psychiatrischen Fotografie gilt.
