Produktbeschreibung
Author Scott Hippensteel examines various Civil War photographs and photographers, employing metrics to determine which photographs have become the most iconic and which photographs are authentic. Along the way he asks questions about whether or not we should view these photographers as the first photojournalists or these famous photos as historic works of art . . . or both.
