["Silvy in his Studio with his Family", 1866 by Camille Silvy. ©Private Collection, Paris]
The first retrospective exhibition of work by Camille Silvy, one of the greatest French photographers of the nineteenth century, will open at the National Portrait Gallery this summer. Marking the centenary of Silvy's death, "Camille Silvy: Photographer of Modern Life, 1834 - 1910", will include over a hundred objects, many of which have not been exhibited since 1860. The portraits on display offer a unique glimpse into nineteenth-century Paris and Victorian London through the eyes of one of photography's greatest innovators. This exhibition is being organised by the Jeu de Paume, Paris, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, London.
