It is a difference in the fundamentals of society, until the 1960s in the West, the main objective of the arts was to seek, to show, the beautiful, the ideal, to establish a normative pattern, often hierarchical, in the 20th century, but mainly in the 1960s, this changed, the arts, the humanities in general, started to play a role in contesting social norms, their moral and beauty standards, the era of counterculture has began, which has a lot of Marxist influence, add that to capitalist materialism, we have nowadays, the era of rebels without a cause.

Love these kinds of posts, so thank you for posting! The only suggestion I would give is to have the pictures remain on the screen a bit longer so that we have a look at it that lasts more than two heartbeats. (I am aware that we can PAUSE and REWIND because that is what I did-but a couple of seconds more on each photograph would have prevented that and allowed for a better experience-IMO.)

What's wild to think about, for me at least, is that in the French pictures, just 50 years earlier people were getting guillotined in Paris by the hundreds everyday and Napoleon Bonaparte was beginning to get noticed as a great military commander.

Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" was published in 1843. Many of the people we see in this slideshow are from that period. So photography existed around the time of the then-present settings in Dickens' novels. The TV series "Dark Shadows" had a storyline set in the year 1840. Imagine one of the Collinses of that time obtaining photographs to show the family.

The first commercial daguerreotypes had exposure times of three to twenty minutes. When Lincoln first sat for a daguerreotype ca. 1846 , the exposure time was a minute or so. That was seven years after the daguerreotype process had been announced. When Lincoln sat for his final photo sessions in 1865, exposure time was down to a matter of seconds. By then, the daguerreotype was an obsolete process, have been supplanted by other, faster, more practical methods.

The advent of photography inspired the impressionists because of the spontaneity they admired around them coupled with the flat perspective of Japanese wood block prints

This is nice but it's missing the Paris street scene from 1838 showing what's known as the first photographed person having his boots shined.

Merci beaucoup. Vers la fin, rue des Batignolles, ce n'est pas "altar" (autel en français) mais un hôtel, établissement commercial où on loue une chambre : même prononciation mais privé de sens religieux , sauf pour " Hôtel-Dieu". J'ai beaucoup aimé : beaucoup de monuments existent encore (sauf les Tuileries, incendiées en 1871 : le cliché est fascinant, cette esplanade évoque la prise du Palais en août 1792 !). A Cambrai la Porte Notre-Dame apparaît encore incluse dans les remparts de la ville, disparus depuis. Le pique-nique dans une abbaye anglaise est très émouvant, romantique à souhait et j'ai imaginé le premier tourisme que pratiquaient les Romantiques : Chateaubriand, Hugo, Stendhal, Georges Sand...

Updated info: the exposure time was not a matter of hours - it was more like a matter of days. Thus spake Wikipedia: "A later researcher who used Niépce's notes and historically correct materials to recreate his processes found that in fact several days of exposure in the camera were needed to adequately capture such an image on a bitumen-coated plate."
