A historian's perspective: How photographs and images make history
9.99 €
In his book, Peter Burke explains in an accessible and engaging way how images and history are connected. How do photographs and paintings confirm and distort historical events? How does visual evidence help historians analyze the past and establish facts? In addition to paintings and photographs, Burke explores posters, advertisements, drawings, maps, and many other artifacts of visual culture. Peter Burke talks about fun historical facts, the influence of propaganda, religion, and cultural attitudes on history. Through this book you will learn how images help and hinder historical research, how they substitute meanings and ideas, and how to establish the truth.
