Presents "Photography After Photography: Memory And Representation In The Digital Age". That is, the work of art in the age of digital manipulation. "Thanks to the tremendous impact of the digital process and its capacity for manipulation, our current notions of what photography is as well as what a photograph represents is changing. Brings together a multitude of positions on the subject. For those who do not know much about photographic issues, whether historic or contemporary, this wide-ranging study is an interesting and fruitful place to start. Reviews, debates, and probes the potential of new technologies without ignoring the natural interactivity between photography and social norms. In that sense, this book can be read as a platform for cultural as well as artistic speculation. Now that we can technically alter the qualities of what used to be the smallest element, the pixel, we are verging on reinventing all notions of representation" (Susan M. Olcott).

"Images of famous events such as the Royal Wedding and the Moon Landing are here next to shots by Masters of photography such as Bill Brandt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Cecil Beaton, and Robert Doisneau. There is fashion, sports, natural history, reportage, and society portraiture as well as social documentary and art. The photographers featured range from William Henry Fox Talbot and Julia Margaret Cameron to Larry Clark and Herb Ritts, from Robert Capa and Josef Koudelka to Nan Goldin and Pierre et Gilles. Arranged alphabetically by photographer, each full-page image is accompanied by an illuminating text which gives a useful insight into the work and its creator as well as extensive cross-references to others working in the same field or style" (Publisher's blurb). "The scope of this visual encyclopedia is truly epic" (Library Journal). Considering how vast and constantly-expanding the subject is, this is an impressive start indeed: Great photographs accompanied by (extremely) insightful commentary. Published almost as an afterthought to Phaidon Press' immensely successful Series that now includes "The Art Book", "The 20th-Century Art Book", and "The Movie Book", the "inclusion of iconic images and their juxtapositions raise questions central to the history of the medium, and make 'The Photo Book' perhaps the most successful of the Series" (Eric Bryant).

Contact seller1-star sellerThe Woman Citizen covered topics like politics, womenÕs history, arts and culture, prohibition, universal suffrage internationally, and the growing presence of women in fields like athletics, law, and government. Writers like Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Stone Blackwell, Alice Hamilton, Margaret Sanger, Cora Rigby, and Emily Newel…l Blair contributed their work to the periodical. Fourteen volumes, 9 in. x 11 in. 32 pp. each volume. Eight issues from 1924 (January 12, January 26, February 23, March 8, June 14, June 28, August 9, December 13), one from 1925 (June 13), and five monthly issues from 1926 (April, May, June, July, and September). Printed paper wrappers, most in color, each with a black-and-white illustration of an art piece by a woman (e.g., Portrait of Mrs. Nourse by Mary Beale). Light wear to wrappers, some creasing and chipping. Contemporary ink ownership signatures (first name Damaris, surname illegible)to the covers of some issues. Minor toning and some dampstaining to a few albums. A very good set of this early feminist magazine. The Woman Citizen was one of the most influential womenÕs publications of the early twentieth century. Carrie Chapman Catt founded the periodical in 1917 by merging the suffrage publications The WomanÕs Journal (founded in 1870), The National Suffrage News, and Woman Voter. The initial funding for the magazine was provided by Mrs. Frank Leslie and allowed the wide circulation of The Woman Citizen: for example, every congressman was added to the mailing list free of charge. The periodical ceased publication in 1931. While these issues were published after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, certain articles still contemplate what womenÕs suffrage looks like in practice: ÒDoes Your Vote Count?Ó asks one piece in the January 26, 1924 issue, while another from June of 1924 contemplates ÒThe Democratic Riddle.Ó.
