At a time when photographic album-making is being re-vitalised by digital technologies, Patrizia Di Bello rewrites the history of photographic albums, placing the female collector at its centre and offering an alternative history of photography focused on its uses rather than on its aesthetic or artistic considerations. Her book is remarkable in elegantly connecting the history of photography with the fields of material culture and women?»s studies.
