 MINT OVERSIZE DELUXE LIMITED EDITION Dreamland: America at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century EARLY TURN-OF-THE-CENTURY AMERICAN HISTORY HARDCOVER BOOK Product descriptionPhotographs document American daily life, development, agriculture, family life, and industry during the first decade of the twentieth century Historian Michael Lesy has produced a haunting volume with Dreamland. The book chronicles a day in the life of America at the turn of the 20th century, an optimistic, peaceful time. Lesy chose 208 black-and-white pictures from the archive of the Detroit Publishing Company, the hugely successful postcard business. The images depict skyscrapers under construction, bustling urban streets, farmers and dusty country roads, and the glories of the newly charted American West, with its cowboys, miners, and distant prairie towns. The atmosphere of order and calm portrayed in the photographs is deceptive, as Lesy's thoughtful essays reveal. From The New Yorker Poignantly contrasting with the serenity of the photos are thumbnail histories of the time's roiling social, political, and cultural changes.... Review A stunning statement about life in the early 1900s. -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution A wonderful gift. -- Minneapolis Star Tribune Amazing.... From Eastern factories to Western vistas, Dreamland is a remarkable visual record of an era. -- Seattle Times Compelling.... A vision [of the past] akin to Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. -- San Diego Union-Tribune Eloquent.... A strange thing that photos of so much blight should possess so much beauty. -- Los Angeles Times Striking [and] provocative.... Like Henry Adams, Michael Lesy comes to history bearing a disappointed lover's load of longing and loss. -- The Nation Superb.... It's remarkable how much has change--and how little. -- Entertainment Weekly The whole panoply of turn-of-the-century American subjects appears here, bringing with it a long-forgotten but still-comforting air of national confidence. -- Boston Phoenix Product details Publisher ‏ : ‎ The New Press; First Edition (November 1, 1997) Language ‏ : ‎ English Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 207 pages ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1565843827 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1565843820 Item Weight ‏ : ‎ 2.4 pounds Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 11.25 x 0.75 x 9.25 inches GORGEOUS OVERSIZED MONOGRAPH BOOK PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER RARE DELUXE AND COLLECTIBLE BOOKS & RECORDS....LITERALLY HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS TO LIST.....WILL I LIVE THAT LONG????
