Beskrivning

At the turn of the twentieth century, the stereograph was king. Its binocular images revealed the world in vivid, three-dimensional detail. Drawing on an enormous, rarely seen collection of stereographic views, Michael Lesy presents images displaying a riot of peoples and cultures, stark class divisions and unsettling glimpses of daily life a century ago.Lesy’s evocative essays reassert the primacy of the stereograph in American visual history. In underscoring the unnerving parallels between that period and our own, Looking Backward reveals a history that shadows us today.

Recensioner i media

"The author is one of America's leading photographic historians and so a collection of images selected by him is going to appeal to the professional eye as well as the more casual enquiring reader... A fascinating collection, annotated in great detail, and certainly food for thought and meditation."
