The goal of this chapter is to explore the impact that the invention of a particular type of photographic image, the carte de visite, had on visual images of the judiciary in England from the 1860s. The carte de visite is widely regarded as an innovation that helped widen access to photography. It is also associated with the birth of photography as a form of mass media. Evidence that the English judiciary were caught up in the frenzy of production and consumption that accompanied these developments, what contemporary commentators called ‘carteomania’ and ‘cardomania’, is to be found in a number of sources. These include catalogues of carte portraits on sale to the public and examples of carte portraits in collections such as London’s National Portrait Gallery and archives such as the library of Lincoln’s Inn. The chapter examines some of the effects that the encounter between the English judiciary and the technological and media innovations that come together in this format had upon the visual representation of the judiciary in the nineteenth century. How if at all did this encounter affect what appears within the frame of judicial portraiture? What impact if any did it have on other pictures of judges? These questions will be answered by way of a case study, focusing on Sir Alexander James Edmund Cockburn. He became Chief Justice of Common Pleas in 1856, Chief Justice of Queens Bench in 1859 and in 1875 he took up the post of Lord Chief Justice in the newly reformed courts.
本章的目的是探讨一种特殊类型的摄影图像的发明，即“随叫随到”(carte de visite)，对19世纪60年代以来英国司法机构的视觉图像的影响。人们普遍认为，这是一项创新，有助于拓宽人们接触摄影的途径。它也与摄影作为一种大众传媒形式的诞生有关。有证据表明，英国司法陷入了伴随这些发展而来的疯狂的生产和消费中，当代评论家称之为“carteomania”和“cardomania”，这可以从很多资料中找到。其中包括向公众出售的单品肖像目录，以及伦敦国家肖像画廊和林肯酒店图书馆等档案馆收藏的单品肖像样本。本章考察了英国司法机构与技术和媒体创新之间的相遇对19世纪司法机构的视觉表现所产生的一些影响。如果这次相遇对司法肖像框架内出现的东西有什么影响呢?它对法官的其他形象有什么影响吗?这些问题将通过一个案例来回答，重点是亚历山大·詹姆斯·埃德蒙·考克伯恩爵士。他于1856年成为普通法院首席法官，1859年成为女王法院首席法官，1875年在新改革的法院担任首席大法官。
