The Marvelous Album of Madame B: Being the Handiwork of a Victorian Lady of Considerable Talent

Sixty years before the avant-garde movements of the 1920's, Victorian women were experimenting with photocollage in their own albums and scrapbooks. Their compositions of photographs and watercolors are whimsical and fantastical, combining photographs of human heads and animal bodies, placing people into imaginary landscapes, and merging faces with drawings of common household objects. This exquisitely designed gift book was inspired by an album in the collection of the Art Institute made by an anonymous Victorian woman, "Madame B".  This album is clever, fanciful, and surreal - at once perfectly in keeping with a Victorian sensibility and at the same time, utterly modern.  This charming book will make an ideal gift for anyone interested in Victoriana, scrapbooking, 19th century photography and collage.
