Above photo of Oscar Wilde is perhaps the celebrated playwright’s most famous photo. Little, however, is known about the famous controversy that surrounded the photo and its photographer Napoleon Sarony. Sarony was a famous New York photographer who took the photos of many celebrities of the day; in the days when photographers paid their famous subjects, and then retain full rights to sell the pictures, Sarony paid Sarah Bernhardt $1,500 (equivalent to $20,000) to pose for his camera.
Understandably, Sarony was mad when the Burrow-Giles Lithographic Company had marketed unauthorized lithographs of above photo in 1884. Titled ‘Oscar Wilde No. 18’, it was just one of a series of portrait Sarony took of Wilde two years before. (Inspired and not to be outdone by Sarony’s portrait, Wilde tried his hand at portraiture of another sort The Picture of Dorian Grey in 1890). The constitutionality of the extension of copyright laws to photographs was highly debated; finally, Burrow-Giles Lithographic Co. v. Sarony reached all the way to the Supreme Court, which unanimously upheld the power of Congress to extend copyright protection to photography.

Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo News.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there!
Thank you
First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if
you do not mind. I was interested to know how you
center yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I have had difficulty clearing my thoughts in getting my
ideas out. I truly do take pleasure in writing
however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how
to begin. Any suggestions or tips? Thanks!
