Abstract

Exploring vision, stereoscopy and phantasmagoria in nineteenth-century Britain, this essay argues that photographer Antoine Claudet used enhanced optical distance to render the middle class substantial. Drawing on history of science and social theories of fetishism I account for Claudet's spectacularly succesful stereo daguerreotypes of middle-class families.
