Seller's Description:
VG+ BW illus. wraps, 361 pp., BW illus. Considers the way American daily life was reported in the illustrated newspapers of the late 1800s. "Whatever their aesthetic strengths or weaknesses, the illustrated weeklies were an arena for contending representations of Gilded Age life, their wood-engraved pictures constituted by a complicated social negotiation among artists, editors, engravers, and readers. They were as changeable and volatile as the times they depicted, their meanings buffeted by crisis and shaped by ways of producing and viewing far different from those of the present." (intro).

Seller's Description:
Berkeley. 2006. University of California Press. 1st Paperback Printing. Very Good in Wrappers. 0520248147. 362 pages. paperback. keywords: History America Gilded Age Journalism. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In this wonderfully illustrated book, Joshua Brown shows that the wood engravings in the illustrated newspapers of Gilded Age America were more than a quaint predecessor to our own sophisticated media. As he tells the history and traces the influence of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, with relevant asides to Harper's Weekly, the New York Daily Graphic, and others, Brown recaptures the complexity and richness of pictorial reporting. He finds these images to be significant barometers for gauging how the general public perceived pivotal events and crises-the Civil War, Reconstruction, important labor battles, and more. This book is the best available source on the pictorial riches of Frank Leslie's newspaper and the only study to situate these images fully within the social context of Gilded Age America. Beyond the Lines illuminates the role of illustration in nineteenth-century America and gives us a new look at how the social milieu shaped the practice of illustrated journalism and was in turn shaped by it. inventory #36389.
