Dreamland: America at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century

Dreamland: America at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century

ISBN: 9781565843820
Authors: Michael Lesy.
Pages/Length: 207
Publisher: New Press
Publication Date: 1997
Format: Cloth
Primary Subject: photography

At the turn of the 20th century, renowned landscape photographer William Henry Jackson joined the Detroit Publishing Company to produce a series of superb postcard images spanning every state and subject across the United States. That photographic record, now in the collections of the Library of Congress and the Colorado Historical Society, is this basis of this profound visual history of America on the cusp of the modern world. Michael Lesy has selected 200 black and white images, made on the best photographic equipment available at the time, to evoke an era of seemingly limitless opportunity, countered by headlines underlining the struggles of the times.

"It's the rendering of displacement—an experience that is partly historiographical, partly literary, partly emotional, distantly religious, and oddly physical—that distinguishes Michael Lesy from other historians, archivists, literary biographers, social critics, and moral philosophers, all vocations which Lesy brings to bear on his own work."—Greil Marcus
