This thesis examines how the Matthew R. Isenburg Collection of nineteenth-century photography and photographica, assembled between 1972 and 2012, was used by researchers, scholars, and photography-enthusiasts, and how information about it was disseminated to the public, prior to its sale to the Archive of Modern Conflict, Toronto, in 2012. The private collection focused on five areas from early photography (183.s-1860s): the Southworth & Hawes photography studio (Boston, 1843-1863), images of and information about the California Gold Rush (148-1855), photographic technology (including cameras, lenses, and studio equipment), daguerreotype and ambrotype cases, and nineteenth-century literature (featuring technical manuals and sales catalogues). This thesis features a literature survey, documentation of how Isenburg displayed his collection within his home, a description of the experience of visiting his collection, an annotated bibliography of publications that feature the collection, and an analytical chapter describing how the reputation of the collector and collection evolved.

VANITY FAIRIS A NOVEL OF ENIGMAS. In particular, after finishing the book, readers have often wondered why Thackeray refuses to tell us clearly whether or not Becky actually kills Joseph Sedley in chapter 67–a question recently given prominence by John Sutherland as one of the “Great Puzzles in Nineteenth-Century Literature” (66–72). The explanation most commonly given for Thackeray's evasiveness on this point is that such unanswered questions inVanity Fairare part of the artistry of this unconventional work of fiction, a book that A. E. Dyson has described as “surely one of the world's most devious novels” (76). This view ofVanity Fairas a novel of narrative legerdemain–intended to keep the reader constantly alert and pondering what is being shown (or concealed)–is certainly true. However, an additional possible explanation for Thackeray's ambiguity on the subject of Jos's death also ought to be considered. This explanation lies in Thackeray's horrified reaction to the public execution of François Benjamin Courvoisier on 6 July 1840. The echoes between Thackeray's appalled description of the events of that morning and his subsequent famous novel suggest that he privately conceived of Becky as murdering Jos. The echoes also suggest that one reason why Thackeray handled this fictional murder obliquely is that, by the time of writingVanity Fair, he had come to believe that, although executions might occur, they should not take place in public. Exploring the subtle connections between Thackeray's profound revulsion at the death of Courvoisier and Thackeray's later treatment of Jos's death gives deeper meaning to the intentional ambiguities in chapter 67. These connections make the ambiguities surrounding the death of Jos part of a widespread debate over capital punishment in the 1840s and have significant ramifications in terms of the parallel between public executions and pornography and with regard to the role of Becky in this novel.
