  • Description: Monique Johnson's paper examines the authorial role played by the Countess de Castiglione (1837-1899) in photographic portraits by Pierre-Louis Pierson produced between 1856 and 1895. The talk addresses the systems of self-fashioning and personal mythology perpetuated by Castiglione, the legal history of photography, conventions and inventions in photographic portraiture, and the practice of tableaux vivants.
