Female Travel Photography of the Early 20th Century: “Motoring in the Balkans Along the Highways of Dalmatia, Montenegro, the Herzegovina and Bosnia” (Chicago 1909) by Frances Kinsley Hutchinson

Motoring in the Balkans: Along the Highways of Dalmatia, Montenegro, the Herzegovina and Bosnia (Chicago 1909) by Frances Kinsley Hutchinson is a romantic diary in words and photographs. Although its text and images have no artistic value, the fluid boundaries of the travelogue genre open up space for the analysis of over a hundred photographs published in the book, accompanied by her poetic captions. Can we classify this group of images as travel photography? What are the specifics of her female gaze? Through a comparative analysis of Kinsley Hutchinson’s published “photo- album” with travel photographs of her female contemporaries, this presentation will attempt to answer the questions raised, in order to contribute to the definition of women’s travel photography, as well as the travel genre as a broad multimedia practice. At the same time, it points out the aspects in which Kinsley Hutchinson’s photographs are important testimonies in researching the history of space.
