This focused and incisive study reassesses the historic collaboration between James Clerk Maxwell and Thomas Sutton. It reveals that Maxwell and Sutton were closer to true partners than has commonly been assumed, and shows how their experiments illuminate the role of technology, representation, and participation in Maxwell's natural philosophy.
"...this 'Palgrave Pivot' volume offers a fascinating look at a little-known subject..." - CHOICE
"This book is a fascinating and important contribution to the vast literature on Maxwell, elegantly situating him in the context of Victorian visual cultures. It pursues issues such as the professionalization of photography, its role and status in the 1860s, the types of cooperation between scientists and photographers such as Thomas Sutton, who is also portrayed vividly and in fine historiographic symmetry to Maxwell. It also delves deeply into the modes of visual (re)presentation pursued by these actors, including three-color projection techniques, stereoscopy, and experimental forms of color photography." - Klaus Hentschel, Professor, Department of History, University of Stuttgart, Germany and author of Mapping the Spectrum
"This book is critically important for the history of science, the history of photography and to our knowledge of nineteenth century visual culture. Beautifully written, it sheds a completely new light on the invention of colour photography and in an account that is both intelligent and readable. The story of the collaboration of physicist James Clerk Maxwell and photographer Thomas Sutton is, in Jordi Cat's hands, an important contribution to our understanding of the Victorian science and the evidential value scientific photography." - Marta Braun, author of Picturing Time: The Work of Etienne Jules Marey 1830-1904 and Eadweard Muybridge
