A must 27 Mar 2009

By Sylvia Hottinger - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Trachtenberg's subtitle of Images as History , Mathew Brady to Walker Evans does no do the contents of book justice. This well-written and consrtucted book covers much more than from Mathew Brady to Walker Evasn, it also broaches photography subjects that were previously found in the realms of art history, architectual photographs, and of sociology, afroamerican representations. Ths book is a treasure for anyone interested in photography, America and its history.

Heavy weight American Studies 25 Sep 2007

By Meredith Folsom - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If your interested in the mind of America, what we think and why we think it, Trachtenberg is your man. This is a very detailed, dense, and enjoyable work on the topic. It's premises are taken from the evidence gleaned from photographs and the history of the profession, a relatively new one (in the process of its own revolution from chemical to digital).
