I think the painters of the Victorian period might have criticized these early photomontages so much because they were taking the spotlight over paintings. During this period the early photomontages were popular with the general republic because they were something new that looked cool. These day's I think the revival of this old technique is due to the technology we have. Moreover, it isn't restricted to just one style of art because of how much resources you have all over the internet.
