Their pictures  with the exception of Civil War images  have received relatively scant attention. Redressing this imbalance is East of the Mississippi  the first book to focus exclusively on the arresting eastern photographs that helped shape Americas national identity. Celebrating natural wonders such as Niagara Falls and the White Mountains as well as capturing a cultural landscape fundamentally altered by industrialization  these works also documented the impact of war  promoted tourism  and played a role in an emerging environmentalism.  Showcasing more than 180 photographs from 1839 to 1900 in a rich variety of media and formatsfrom daguerreotypes  salted paper prints  tintypes  cyanotypes  and albumen prints to stereo cards and photograph albumsthis volume traces the evolution of eastern landscape photography and introduces the artists who explored this subject. Also considered are the dynamic ties with other mediafor instance  between painters and photographers such as the Bierstadt and Moran brothersand the distinctive development of landscape photography in America.
