In this wonderfully illustrated book, Joshua Brown shows that the
wood engravings in the illustrated newspapers of Gilded Age America
were more than a quaint predecessor to our own sophisticated media.
As he tells the history and traces the influence of Frank Leslie's
Illustrated Newspaper, with relevant asides to Harper's Weekly, the
New York Daily Graphic, and others, Brown recaptures the complexity
and richness of pictorial reporting. He finds these images to be
significant barometers for gauging how the general public perceived
pivotal events and crises--the Civil War, Reconstruction, important
labor battles, and more. This book is the best available source on
the pictorial riches of Frank Leslie's newspaper and the only study
to situate these images fully within the social context of Gilded
Age America. Beyond the Lines illuminates the role of illustration
in nineteenth-century America and gives us a new look at how the
social milieu shaped the practice of illustrated journalism and was
in turn shaped by it.
