Sobre este artículo
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt; Mariner Books, 2018. xi, 335 pages, illustrations; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Remainder mark/top edge. First paperback edition. "In the early days of photography, in the death-strewn wake of the Civil War, one man seized Americas imagination. A 'spirit photographer,' William Mumler, took portrait photographs that featured the ghostly presence of lost loved ones alongside his living subjects. At a time when artists like Mathew Brady were remaking American culture with their cameras, Mumler was a sensation: the affluent and influential came calling, including Mary Todd Lincoln. It took a circuslike trial of Mumler on fraud charges, starring P. T. Barnum for the prosecution, to expose a fault line of doubt and manipulation. And even then, the judge's stunning verdict suggested no one would ever solve the mystery of how Mumler did it. This forgotten puzzle offers a vivid snapshot of America at a crossroads in its history, a nation in thrall to new technology while grasping desperately for something to believe in." - Publisher.. 1st. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo.
