Further information:
"With the proliferation of snapshot cameras at the turn of the [19th] century, the aura of the photographer steadily faded. In the early days, however when equipment had been cumbersome and processing laborious, the powers of the photographic artist had seemed to the sitter as marvellous as any magician's." (from the introduction)
