Civil War Photography and History. Public Panel.
In this third program in 'Still Hazy After All These Years', a series of public panels marking the sesquicentennial of the start of the U.S. Civil War, a panel of noted historians and art historians addresses the persistence of photography's influence over the vision of the Civil War, and what remains to be learned from the medium and the war's visual record. The panelists discuss, among other questions, photography's impact on Americans' perceptions of the conflict in the past and how the meanings and uses of the visualization of the war have changed over time. Speech by Anthony Lee, Mount Holyoke College; Mary Niall Mitchell, University of New Orleans; Martha A. Sandweiss, Princeton University; Deborah Willis, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University (image: Timothy O'Sullivan, 'A Harvest of Death,' Alexander Gardner, Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War, Vol. 1 (1866)-Prints and Photographs Division, Library of Congress).
