From roughly 1860 to 1920〔http://www.blogcatalog.com/blog/the-painted-backdrop-tintype-art〕〔http://old-time-religion.blogspot.com/2010/05/art-tintype-book-painted-backdrop-by.html〕 painted photography backdrops were a standard feature of early photography studios. Generally of rustic or quasi-classical design, but sometimes presenting a bourgeoise trompe-l'œil,〔http://timebinder.net/home/?currentPage=3〕 they eventually fell out of fashion with the advent of the Brownie and Kodak cameras which brought photography to the masses with concurrent changes to public sensibility. Inasmuch as they were produced for six decades by local artisans, they can provide important clues to the provenance of old family photographs for genealogical research,〔http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/photodetectiveblog/2008/01/22/BackgroundsInOldPhotos.aspx〕〔http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fgriffin/photos.txt〕〔http://www.billblanton.com/date.htm〕 and their staged influence lives on in "old-timey" photography sets.〔http://www.nostalgiasite.com/〕〔http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/photo-retouching/18307-ol-time-studio-backdrops.html〕 Furthermore, they are of some interest to specialized collectors of the history of photography.〔http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/an-interview-with-antique-photograph-and-camera-collectors-jack-and-beverly-wilgus/〕 == Gallery == Image:Private_Samuel_K_Wilson.jpg|Illinois, 1862 File:SaraForbesBonetta.jpg|Sara Forbes Bonetta photographed by Camille Silvy, Great Britain, 1862 Image:H.S.M.Young_Eglinton_Factor.jpg|Scotland, 1875 Image:Bikrama_Singh.jpg|India, before 1877 Image:Marconi,_Gaudenzio,_Female_nude_with_pictorial_backdrop_1870-1879.jpg|France, 1870-1879 Image:SchlaySisters1878.jpg|The Town of Berlin (now Kitchener) Ontario, 1878 Image: Douglass_Helen_Eva_Frederick.jpg|Frederick Douglass with his second wife Helen Pitts Douglass and her sister (standing), c. 1884 Image:Leo Trotzki 1888.jpg|Leon Trotsky, 1888, Russia Image:LonaBarrison.jpg|One of the Barrison sisters, Berlin, 1903 Image:Mignon Nevada Ophelia2.jpg|Mignon Nevada as Ophelia in Ambroise Thomas's opera, ''Hamlet'', c. 1910 Image:Johannes Holzmann aka Senna Hoy.jpg|Johannes Holzmann, 1914, Europe Image:Alice_Manfield_-_Guide_Alice,_Mt_Buffalo,_c1900-30,_SLV.jpg|Guide Alice, Victoria, Australia, c. 1900-30 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Painted photography backdrops」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
