Book Description 
  
Winner of the Charles C. Eldredge Prize Alan Trachtenberg reinterprets some of America's most significant photographs, presenting them not as static images but rather as rich cultural texts suffused with meaning and historical content. Analyzing the work of such luminaries as Mathew Brady, Timothy O'Sullivan, and Walker Evans, Trachtenberg eloquently articulates how the art of photography has both followed and shaped the course of American history, and how images captured decades ago provocatively illuminate the present. Photographs, notes, index.
