The UK government has placed a temporary export ban on \u2018Signor 1857′ \u2013 an album containing 35 works by various photographers \u2013 saying it is at risk of leaving Britain if \u00a3121,250 needed to buy it cannot be found soon.<\/p>\n

It is believed to be the earliest of eight albums Cameron owned before she took up photography herself \u2013 helping to shape the images she would go on to create.<\/p>\n

Culture Minister Ed Vaizey said the album is of \u2018outstanding significance for the study of 19th century photography’. <\/p>\n

It believed to have been given to Cameron as a gift, by her artist friend George Frederic Watts.<\/p>\n

Vaizey added: \u2018I sincerely hope that a UK buyer can be found for the Signor 1857 Album. <\/p>\n

‘It still holds many secrets and keeping it in the UK would allow further detailed study in the lead up to the bi-centenary of this incredibly talented photographer’s birth.’<\/p>\n

The deadline to raise the funds is 8 July, but the government says this could be extended to 8 October if a \u2018serious intention’ to purchase the album is made.<\/p>\n

It is \u2018an important example of how photographs were embedded within avant-garde art-making of the day,’ said the Department for Media, Culture & Sport and Arts Council England in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u2018In addition, it is a pivotal piece of evidence in explaining how Cameron, a middle-aged woman with no previous experience of visual art-making, became one of the most celebrated photographers.<\/p>\n

\u2018And it illustrates Cameron’s increasing interest in the relationship between the fine arts and photography’.<\/p>\n

The rescue bid was first reported by the British photographic history <\/a>blog last week.<\/p>\n

Those interested in buying the album should contact the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art and Cultural Interest on 0845 300 6200.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
