Notes
edit- ^ Talbot's 1835 photograph has also been referred to as Lacock Oriel Window (Latticed Window)[s 1] or simply Latticed Window.[2]
- ^ Also known as Le Noyé (lit. 'The drowned man').
- ^ The Metropolitan Museum of Art dates their copy of Talbot's Haystack as "probably 1841".[9] The National Gallery of Canada dates it to April 1844.[10]
- ^ View full collection of photographs at Wikimedia Commons.
- ^ If the photographer is Mayall, then the location would be London, England as he was present there at the time.[16]
- ^ Gustave Le Grey's The Brig is also referred to as Brig on the Water[17][18] and The Brig in Moonlight.[19]
- ^ Robert Howlett's image is referred to as Isambard Kingdom Brunel before the Launch of the Leviathan in The Oxford Companion to the Photograph.
- ^ Alexander Gardener's 1862 The Dead of Antietam is also referred to as Civil War Battlefield or Bodies on the battlefield at Antietam.
- ^ Also titled Cotton Mill Girl. The collection item for the Library of Congress gives a much longer title that includes commentary from the photographer: A little spinner in the Mollahan Mills, Newberry, S.C. She was tending her "sides" like a veteran, but after I took the photo, the overseer came up and said in an apologetic tone that was pathetic, "She just happened in." Then a moment later he repeated the information. The mills appear to be full of youngsters that "just happened in," or " are helping sister." Dec. 3, 08. Witness Sara R. Hine. Location: Newberry, South Carolina.[34]
- ^ Also titled Grand Prix of the Automobile Club de France, 1912 or Automobile Delage, Grand Prix de l'Automobile-Club de France, Le Tréport, 26 juin 1912 Sources including the Oxford University Press, erronously claimed this photograph to be taken in 1912 (as dated by Lartique himself later) when it took place in 1913. The driver, identified as René Croquet, raced as No. 20 in 1912; he was driving a Théophile Schneider in both races, neither in a Delage. There was no No. 6 in the 1912 race.
- ^ Also referred to as Abstraction, Porch Shadows, Connecticut and Abstraction, Shadows of a Veranda, Connecticut.
- ^ Also dated to 1913 and 1915.
- ^ Huynh Cong "Nick" Ut's 1972 Napalm attack is also referred to as The Terror of War, Phan Thị Kim Phúc, or Vietnam children after napalm attack.
- ^ Originally captioned "test".
