Description
Jeremiah Gurney was a leading portrait photographer in 19th-century New York City. His work is now being rediscovered, thanks to an exhibit at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Gurney's career spanned fifty years and included all major photographic mediums and formats of his time. He captured images of ordinary people as well as famous figures such as the Prince of Wales, Charles Dickens, and Mark Twain. This book presents a fascinating look at the role photography played in 19th-century America, both as a commercial enterprise and as an index of a rapidly changing society.
