Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Engravings for the people" a fresh appraisal of the printmakers Currier & Ives and their vision of America Currier & Ives was a powerhouse of 19th-century publishing and had an immeasurable influence on American visual culture. Founded in New York in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier, the company expanded to include a new partner, James Merritt Ives, after 1857. Currier & Ives produced millions of affordably priced copies of over 7,000 original lithographs, living up to its self-appointed title as "The Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints." The firm took advantage of New York City's booming arts culture in the latter half of the 19th century, but its output was not seen as fine art by critics, nor was it intended as such. Its prints were first and foremost commodities; the choice subjects often determined by popularity and sales figures. Currier & Ives perpetuated Victorian ideals in its depictions of family, history, politics and urban and suburban life. But these prints also served as an important record of a nation in the midst of an extraordinary transformation from a rural and agricultural landscape to an industrialized and urbanized global power. Along with their popular appeal, Currier & Ives's images offer a new opportunity to uncover the complexities and contradictions of our history and help shape our understanding of America's past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully produced compilation are the biographies of fifty famed commanders from both the Union and the Confederacy, accompanied by lifelike portraits and more than seventy full-color and duotone full-page battle scenes, including images from Currier & Ives and the treasured Kurz and Allison series. This highly anticipated commemorative edition brings a classic American history book back in stock for the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War on April 12, 1861. The biographies and captions in this indispensable collector’s item are derived from nineteenth-century publications written for a popular audience when many Civil War heroes were still alive, and they contain fascinating first-person narratives and anecdotes that might not otherwise have survived. The heroes’ two thousand–word histories are supplemented with separate lists of their important battles, independent commands, and dates of rank, to aid the reader in following a general’s career. Each exciting battle picture is presented in proper chronological order, identified by the names both sides used, and shows its correct date. The essential maps indicate the sites of all important engagements, and carefully selected illustrations from official atlases and ordnance manuals help the reader identify the major sidearms and field weapons pictured, as well as uniforms and insignia. Colorful vignettes and patriotic drawings taken from troops’ writing paper and envelopes complete this enriching volume—a must-have for history buffs on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line.
