2Θ7
In the 1840s a revolution began in both book pub¬
lishing and the presentation of American history.
Inexpensive techniques for reproducing visual
images in books allowed established artists, who
often had no training in history, to present their
own patriotic interpretations of historical events.
Meanwhile authors
—
encouraged by publishers
eager to expand into the popular market
—
eventu¬
ally began to write their texts with these images in
mind. This symbiotic relationship and the mass-
market acceptance of this dramatic and often melo¬
dramatic pictorial genre had an enormous effect on
the kind and the intensity of history that
Americans absorbed.
Picturing the Past, an illustrated history of these
often maligned illustrated history books, offers a
detailed look into the visual culture of the past.
Pfitzer finds that these books were directed at not
only semiliterate immigrants but also middle-class
Americans seeking to reaffirm their patriotism. Not
surprisingly, many books contained sentimental
and even comic misrepresentations of history, but
some authors and illustrators also showed real
sparks of genius in the way they condensed the past
and made it comprehensible.
By the 1890s a new breed of professional histori¬
an was expressing deep concern about the dever-
balization of culture brought on by illustrated his¬
tories. Suspicions about the reliability of visual evi¬
dence
—
including photographs
—
called into ques¬
tion the relevancy of visual literacy. By
1900
the
heyday of the illustrated history book had ended,
and that of the monograph, journal article, and
professional paper had begun.
