This book turns a compelling new lens on thinking about the history of Paris and photography. The invention of photography changed how history could be written. But the now commonplace assumptions–that photographs capture fragments of lost time or present emotional gateways to the past–that structure today’s understandings did not emerge whole cloth in 1839. Focusing on one of photography’s birthplaces, Paris and the Cliché of History tells the story of how photographs came to be imagined as documents of the past. Author Catherine E. Clark analyzes photography’s effects on historical interpretation by examining the formation of Paris’s first photo archives at the Musée Carnavalet and the city’s municipal library, their use in illustrated history books and historical exhibitions and reconstructions such as the 1951 celebration of Paris’s 2000th birthday, and the public’s contribution to the historical record in amateur photo contests.
