This presentation seeks to r eaddress this narrative\, by uncovering the early history of UK photograph ic copyright following the passage of the Fine Arts Copyright Act 1862 (th e first UK copyright statute expressly to protect photographs). Drawing on original archival research\, the paper identifies the ways in which photo graphic copyright operated as a nineteenth century law protecting the comm ercial value of celebrity likeness\, shaped by interests which in other ju risdictions during the twentieth century\, would be protected by separate regimes of publicity rights. The presentation closes with conclusions abou t what this means for both the way we think about copyright history and th e legal protection of personality in the UK today.\nAbout the speaker\nEle na Cooper is Orton Fellow in Intellectual Property Law at Trinity Hall\, C ambridge and a Member of Cambridge University's Centre for Intellectual Pr operty and Information Law.
