- Summary
- Transporting visions' follows pictures as they traveled through and over the swamps, forests, towns, oceans, and rivers of British America and the U.S. between 1760 and 1860. Taking seriously the complications involved in moving pictures through the physical world - the sheer bulk and weight of artworks, the long delays inherent in long-distance reception, the perpetual threat to the stability and mnemonic capacity of images, the uneasy mingling of artworks with other kinds of things in transit - Jennifer L. Roberts forges a model for a material history of visual communication in early America. Focusing on paintings and prints by John Singleton Copley, John James Audubon, and Asher B. Durand that were designed with mobility in mind, Roberts shows how an analysis of such imagery opens new perspectives on the most fundamental problems of early American commodity circulation, geographic expansion, and social cohesion
