Catharine Weed Barnesová (nepřechýleně Barnes; 10. ledna 1851, Albany – 31. července 1913)[1] byla průkopnická americká fotografka, která později žila v Anglii. Velmi podporovala v činnosti ženy – fotografky.[2]

Životopis

Catharine Weed Barnesová se narodila v Albany v New Yorku, jako nejstarší dítě zámožných rodičů Williama Barnese st. a Emily P. (Weed) Barnesové (dcera politika Thurlowa Weeda).[1][3] Mezi její sourozence patřil bratr William Barnes junior vydavatel novin a vůdce newyorské Republikánské strany.[4] Navštěvovala Vassar College, ale její čas byl krácen rodinnými povinnostmi.[5] V roce 1872 odjela do Ruska se svým otcem, který byl delegátem mezinárodního kongresu.[1]

Fotografování se věnovala od roku 1886 a v roce 1890 se stala redaktorkou časopisu American Amateur Photographer a přispívala do rubriky „Dámské práce“.[1][6] Později také přispívala do Frank Leslie's Weekly.[1] Vstoupila do několika asociací, které byly obvykle vyhrazeny pro muže, včetně National Photographers 'Association of America a Camera Club v New Yorku.[1][7] Její práce, včetně tisků a snímků pro laterny magicy, získala ceny na výstavách amatérské fotografie.[8][1]

V roce 1892 odcestovala do Británie, aby promluvila na zasedání Fotografické konvenci Spojeného království v Edinburghu. V Londýně potkala Henryho Snowdena Warda, redaktora fotografických časopisů, který se brzy stal jejím manželem. Usadila se v Anglii a spolu s ním editovala v Londýně magazín The Photogram (1894–1905), který pokračoval od roku 1906 jako The Photographic Monthly; (1895–1905), The Process Photogram od roku 1906, jako The Process Engravers' Monthly;; také Photograms of the Year (od roku 1896) a The Photographic Annual (z roku 1908).[9] Důkladné naléhání páru na termín „fotogram“ v těchto titulech, přinejmenším do roku 1906, kdy se klaněli běžnému zvyku, bylo výsledkem jejich přesvědčení, že etymologie „fotografie“ vyžaduje, aby slovo fotografie bylo sloveso, a že produktem aktu fotografie byl fotogram, stejně jako z „telegrafu“ je „telegram“.[10]

Ilustrovala také několik knih svého manžela fotografiemi, které pořídila, včetně Shakespeare's Town and Times (1896), The Canterbury Pilgrimages (1904) a The Real Dickens Land (1904).[7][11][12] Během své kariéry přednášela Barnesová na podporu žen ve fotografii a trvala na tom, aby jejich práce byla posuzována podle stejných kritérií jako u mužů.[13]

Catharine Weed Barnesová zemřela v Hadlow v Anglii.[7]

Dědictví

Barnesová pořídila v průběhu své kariéry asi 10 000 fotografií na skleněné negativy, ale je známo, že se dochovala jen asi pětina. Archivy jejích prací je ve sbírkách Muzea George Eastmana v Rochesteru v New Yorku a Kentské archeologické společnosti v Maidstone v Anglii. Druhá kolekce obsahuje fotografie, které Barnesová vytvořila pro knihy svého manžela.[14]

Horace Greeleyused to say that he could find fifty men who could spin out column arti-cles with the greatest ease, where he scarcely found one who could write areally clever paragraph. In this style of writing Mr. Weed was perfect,and the light artillery of his caustic pen was more effective in party war-fare than the heavy column projectiles of the leader sort. His sarcasmwas cutting, and his extraordinary memory left politicians open to attackson matters they deemed long forgotten. His style was novel forty yearsago, and of course all the more attractive and successful. While the Dem-ocratic reader was carefully working out the pith of one of his opponentCroswells dismally long editorials, the Whig reader had stored away fortyfacts from Mr. Weeds budget of paragraphs.

They are all addressed to Thurlow Weed. The letters ofSecretary Seward alone fill several volumes, covering the three or four dec-ades of his public life. Letters of l)e Witt Clinton, Henry Clay, DanielWebster, and Horace Greeley, are numerous and characteristic. Such amass of private history, embracing a period so full of startling events, soracy and sensational, could hardly exist elsewhere.

Winthrop, of Boston,and Thomas Ewing, of Ohio. Neither of those gentlemen, however, couldbe prevailed upon to accept the delicate and important mission. Arch-bishop Hughes was urged to accept, as it was thought he might undo thework of the Bishop of Charleston who had confused the mind of the Pope ;but he was not in perfect health, and in a matter of such moment wouldonly consent to the appointment on condition that Thurlow Weed wouldgo with him as his colleague. This proposition Mr. Weed at first emphat-ically declined, but the strongest arguments were brought to bear uponthe great politician, and he reluctantly assented.
