Zusammenfassung:This study explores the British origins of a newly accessible art history through the lens of a little-known publication: Nancy Bell's Elementary History of Art, an illustrated general survey issued in six trans-Atlantic editions between 1874 and 1906. Though Bell's contributions as an author and educator of art history have been effectively erased by historiographers focused on developments within the academy, Bell's book uniquely embodies a number of key aspects of the history of art as a developing field, including its text-image hybridity, its national and international profiles, its overlapping scholarly and popular spheres, and its methodological shifts between historical cataloguing and critical aesthetics.
