About the Author:

Vicki Goldberg is the author of "The Power of Photography: How Photographs Changed Our Lives" and editor of "Photography in Print: Writings from 1816 to the Present". She writes on photography for the "New York Times", "Vanity Fair", "American Photo", and other publications.

From Library Journal:
This book, which covers the same territory as Gail Buckland's First Photographs ( LJ 1/15/81) and Lorraine Monk's Photographs That Changed the World ( LJ 1/90), includes familiar images: Brady and Gardner's Civil War dead, Dorothea Lange's "Migrant Mother," and Sam Shere's exploding "Hindenberg." It is a pastiche of 19th- and 20th-century photographs and their stories, retold in epigrammatic style. Interested lay readers will be fascinated by the images in this book, but subject specialists will find the treatment more journalistic than analytical or scholarly. The text and photos published here do not seem to be the result of Goldberg's own primary-source research and original discoveries. Instead, she compiles material first published by photohistorians and other researchers in scholarly essays and books. Citations are imprecise; one footnote usually covers an entire paragraph of sources. Captions omit process and dimension information. The lack of a separate bibliography in a book that relies so heavily on the work of others is disappointing and frustrating.
