The article discusses the gendering of the division of labor in Victorian photographic practice. The gendered properties of skill and agency were clear in nineteenth-century collective sciences, though obscured by the Victorian discourses of photographic professionalism and democratization. Women entered the field in mid nineteenth century but, in perepheral ways, though the later period experienced the return to photographic masculinity.
