By the early 1860s, commercial portrait photography had become a part of the everyday. Through their daily reception and interpretation, photographs were utilised to construct and consolidate social relations \u0026amp; to imagine social order visually, exemplified by the ubiquitous photographic presence of Queen Victoria.  In this book, critical reflection on this mechanism allows readers to better understand how this affects current media practices as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN 9783111124551.
