Looking Backward: A Photographic Portrait of the World at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century
by Lesy, Michael
|
| |
| In 1900 the stereograph was king. Millions of Americans, especially schoolchildren, absorbed ideas about race, class, and gender from its 3D images, the embodiment of the notion that "seeing is believing." Drawing on a rarely seen collection of some 300,000 stereographic views spanning the first decade of the 20th century, Michael Lesy presents nearly 250 images displaying a riot of peoples and cultures, stark class divisions, and unsettling glimpses of daily life a century ago. | | |
