CREATORS

* Ludovico Wolfgang Hart (British)  - artist
Ludovico Woolfgang Hart British, active 1860s-1870s

A professional photographer and member of the Royal Engineers, by 1860 Ludovico Hart had published a photographic manual, Photography Simplified. In 1863-64 he began publishing his ambitious Galerie Universelle de Peuples, an attempt "to reproduce through photography the national costumes that are disappearing rapidly before the advance of civilization" and to preserve "the beautiful and picturesque." Hart primarily produced ethnographic photographs of the Near East, Alsace, Baden, and the Black Forest.
	Despite his skill, Hart's works, which appear as both larger prints and stereographs, are often attributed to his collaborator, the publisher Charles Lallemand. Hart is also believed to have worked in Australia in the 1870s. T.W.F.
