Description
Book SynopsisIn the period, 1870 to 1910, technological and manufacturing advances revolutionized Spain's illustrated press and consequently Europeanized the tastes and the expectations of its elite urban readership. This book examines the ideological impact and the technological transformation of image production in Spanish magazines during the Restoration.
Trade Review“Charnon-Deutsch offers previously unpublished material, inspiring analysis of culturally complex images and texts, and an innovative methodology for producing historically rich interpretations of visual culture.”
—Jordana Mendelson,New York University
“Charnon-Deutsch has established herself as the foremost chronicler and interpreter of pictorial art and visual culture in the 19th-century Spanish periodical.
Charnon-Deutsch provides an altogether engaging picture of how magazine images influence the common interests of society and how mass-marketing shapes the tastes of a wide-ranging readership.”
—R. M. Fedorchek Choice
