Working in an environment hostile toAfrican American achievement, Brown became asuccessful commercial artist and businessman.Best known for his bird’s-eye cityscapes, he alsoproduced and published maps, charts, andbusiness documents, and he illustrated books,sheet music, advertisements, and labels for cansand other packaging. Focusing on Grafton TylerBrown’s lithography and his life in nineteenthcentury San Francisco, Robert J. Chandleroffers a study equally fascinating as a businessand cultural history and as an introduction toBrown the artist.Since he first dreamed of a career inphotography, Guy Gillette has traveledregularly to his wife’s family’s ranch, locatedoutside the small town of Crockett, Texas.When Gillette first came to the Porter Place, asthe ranch has always been known, he began tophotograph the Porter family and their land.Thanks to Gillette’s sense of composition,these wonderful black-and-white photographs,dating from the 1940s, led to his career as amagazine photographer. Collected here forthe first time, they document small-town lifein East Texas, where Guy Gillette’s sons, themusical duo the Gillette Brothers, still runcattle. A Family of the Land offers a portrait ofa community over a half century during whichremarkably little has changed.OUPRESS.COM800 627 73779

It is the first book to showcasethe photographs of Vincent Soboleff, anamateur Russian American photographerwhose community included Tlingit Indians froma nearby village as well as Russian Americans.Using a Kodak camera, Soboleff documentedthe life of this multiethnic parish at work and atplay until 1920. Despite their significance, fewof Soboleff’s photographs have been publishedsince their discovery in 1950. AnthropologistSergei Kan rectifies that oversight in A RussianAmerican Photographer in Tlingit Country, whichbrings together more than 100 of Soboleff’sstriking black-and-white images.Less than thirty years after Lewis andClark completed their epic journey, PrinceMaximilian of Wied—a German naturalist—and his entourage set off on their owndaring expedition across North America.Accompanying the prince on this 1832–34voyage was Swiss artist Karl Bodmer, whosedrawings and watercolors—designed toillustrate Maximilian’s journals—now rankamong the great treasures of nineteenthcentury American art. This lavishly illustratedbook juxtaposes Bodmer’s landscape imageswith modern-day photographs of the sameviews, allowing readers to see what haschanged, and what seems unchanged, sincethe time Maximilian and Bodmer made theirstoried trip up the Missouri River.OUPRESS.COM800 627 737711
