Dreamland
America at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century
New York : New Press, [1997]
Format: Book
Description: 207 pages : illustrations ; 23 x 29 cm
This collection features over 200 of William Henry Jackson's photographic images of the USA, chosen from postcards produced and sold by the Detroit Publishing Company for whom he worked. For years, Jackson and his team fanned out across the United States to document the people and places, industry and scenery of the dynamically-changing nation. At the company's height, they sold over seven million images a year. A renowned landscape photographer, Jackson's greatest images are represented: from the towering Flatiron Building in New York to surreal views of Californian cities built in the middle of nowhere; and from immigrant workers in mines and smelters to southern chain gangs and minstrel groups.
