Waggoner, Diane (ed): The Pre-Raphaelite Lens: British Photography and Painting, 1848-1875. Exhibition: Paris, Musée d'Orsay and Washington, National Gallery of Art, 2010. 240pp with 198 colour illustrations. Hardback. 29.2x22.8cms. Rarely acknowledged, the Pre-Raphaelites' debt to photography was considerable, as medium and movement developed virtually in tandem with each other. This fully-illustrated exhibition catalogue looks at themes of landscape, portraiture, narrative and daily-life subjects, their portrayal in painting and photography and the common threads that run between them.
