Metternich’s collection of Talbot’s photographs. A lost album as a virtually material being
Original language description
The earliest era of photograph collecting in Central Europe is largely unexplored. One of the few pioneering collectors we know about was Klemens W.N.L., Prince von Metternich-Winneburg. As the article demonstrates, in the early 1840s he acquired dozens of photogenic drawings and calotypes from the inventor W.H.F. Talbot and incorporated them into his extensive collections at Kynžvart castle. Most of the series is lost today, but drawing on recently recognized traces and documents – starting with Talbot’s correspondence and period catalogues of the Kynžvart collection and ending with later reproductions and research interests of historians and collectors Egon Corti and Erich Stenger – we can form a detailed idea of the series’ origin, form, content and path. We can also better understand Metternich’s interest in photograph collecting and his role in early development of paper photography in this part of Europe.
