Chapter Seven
Chapter seven focuses on mass-produced reproductive prints and professionally organized and managed commercial exhibitions of art as the two foremost methods by which dealers disseminated an unprecedented number of art products. The resulting revenues provided much of the financial fuel for the mid-Victorian art boom. We discuss specific publishing and exhibition ventures as examples of the scale and sophistication these enterprises assumed. This chapter also revisits the increasingly important art writer whose role had expanded correspondingly to dealers’ activities. The very exchange system of art defined the changing parameters of art writers’ activities within the context of the shared goal of increasing the consumption of art.
