Are you a fan of Jane Austen’s novels and/or bridgertonnetflix? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ If yes, then you’ll love these pages from two late 19th-century photocollage albums, which reveal clues about the women who made them and how and why they did so. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The albums were almost exclusively created by women of the Ton, the British “Upper Ten Thousand,” England’s landowning class. Making such albums was considered an acceptable pastime like needlework, learning a foreign language, or playing a musical instrument. It could display a woman’s wit and artistic talents within domestic parameters. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Tap the #linkinbio to thumb through these images in the new online exhibit “Radical Whimsy: Victorian Women and the Art of Photocollage” and explore how women of the time found empowerment in their compositions by conveying creatively and rebelliously their opinions and feelings about their world.⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ .⁠⁠ 🏷#getty #gettymuseum #collages #albums #photocollages #art #creativity #victorian #victorianart #19t...
