Uniform Proof :
19th-Century Photography in
the Collection of William Wiese
January 24–April 4, 2009
Chi Omega-Hargis Gallery
JCSM is pleased to present a fascinating
group of Victorian-era British, European,
and American photographs of subjects in
military regalia, accompanied by illustrated
photo mounts, and decorative albums, exemplifying the 19th-century passion for investigation, collection, categorization, and
aestheticism. Drawn from the collection of
Auburn University alumnus William Wiese,
the exhibition highlights images of children
and women in uniform.
