The Victorian period was an era of massive expansion in technologies that promoted mass production on an unprecedented scale- affecting a large majority of industries around the world- including photogrpahy.
Ericson’s work was well-received within the community and beyond, with the improvements in photography technology that allowed for mass production of images. Ericson’s work functioned frequently as the window into Humboldt County- appearing in many different expositions across the country like the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and widely published as postcards and prints.
By the end of the 19th century cameras were more readily available for the masses and photography quickly became a popular hobby. Because of photography’s popularity, many competing manufacturers were creating new processes and tools during this time. Some of the companies that are still widely known today such as the Eastman Kodak Company originated in this period. George Eastman released the invention of photographic film in 1883 and released the Kodak film camera in 1888, making photography more accessible to the hobbyist.  The display in the Victorian room includes cameras, examples of a variety of Victorian photos from the Clarke Collections, and a photo shoot in progress. A usable stereoscope will also be available for viewing 3D images. This exhibit was created and curated by Community Curator Hannah Denton. Text and Photos are also by Hannah Denton.

The Victorian era witnessed a remarkable leap in photographic technology, fundamentally transforming how images were captured and shared. The transition from early photographic methods such as daguerreotypes and tintypes to the more versatile cartes de visite revolutionized the industry by making the reproduction and distribution of photographs more accessible than ever. Cartes de visite, which were small, affordable portraits, allowed people to collect and exchange images on a wide scale, democratizing photography and making it a popular medium for personal and public use. One notable contributor to this evolution was A.W. Ericson, a Humboldt County photographer who began his career in 1879. His work not only documented the local landscape and community but also achieved recognition beyond Humboldt County, appearing in national expositions and being widely circulated as postcards and prints. Ericson's success exemplifies how advancements in photography technology during the Victorian period allowed local artists to gain broader exposure and influence. 11/22/2022 04:30:31 am
