American photographs: the first century : from the Isaacs collection in the National Museum of American Art


By


Abstract

Images. More than two-thirds of these works are being reproduced for the first time. A deliberate effort has been made to mix familiar and lesser-known photographers, styles of work, and a variety of processes in order to explore ideas about the influence of photographic culture in America during the years from 1839 to 1939.
