      This excellent series examines the history and context of a photo or series of photos and its impact on culture. Berne looks at how Frederick Douglass's daguerreotype portrait helped counteract racist portrayals of African Americans. A biography of Douglass works together with background on the abolitionist movement and the history of photography in the thoughtful, engaging text. Timeline, reading list. Bib., glos., ind.
