Series Review
Occasionally, a single photograph becomes the emblematic “big picture” that defines an era, and this quality series tells the stories of four of those iconic photographs. Each book places its subject photo into historical context, profiles the photographer, describes the conditions under which it was taken, and analyzes both its immediate and its continuing impact. The texts include ample background and detail and are enhanced by large photos and sidebars. These books will help students understand the influence of the individual photos and the eras they epitomize, and are strong choices.—School Library Journal |
