Review Quotes
Tate Magazine
"Provides us with a compendium . . . which continues the long process of restoring the balance between written documentation and optical representation as carriers of historical information. . . . A thoroughly engrossing explication of how fine art, graphics, photographs, film and other media can be used to make sense of lives lived out in other times."
Michael Baxandall | English Historical Review
"Well-informed and fair-minded, and it prompts one to ponder."
