Specificatii
Jack London (1876-1916) remains one of the most widely read
American writers, known for his naturalist fiction, socialist
novels and essays, journalism, and the many adventures that he
shared with the world. London was also an accomplished
photographer, producing nearly twelve thousand photographs during
his lifetime. Jack London, Photographer, the first book devoted to
London's photography, reveals a vital dimension of his artistry,
barely known until now.London's subjects included such peoples as
the ragged homeless of London's East End and the freezing refugees
of the Russo-Japanese War, the latter photographed on assignment
for the Hearst Syndicate. For Collier's magazine, London wrote his
eyewitness account of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire
and returned two weeks later with his camera to document a city in
ruins but slowly recovering. During his voyage aboard the Snark,
London produced humane images of the South Seas islanders that
contrasted dramatically with the period's stereotypical portraits
of indigenous peoples. In 1914 he documented the U.S. invasion of
Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. Although some of his images
were used in newspaper and magazine stories and in his books The
People of the Abyss and The Cruise of the Snark, the majority have
remained unpublished until now.The volume's more than two hundred
photographs were printed from the original negatives in the
California State Parks collection and from the original photographs
in albums at the Huntington Library. They are reproduced here as
duotones from silver gelatin prints. The general and chapter
introductions place London's photographs in the context of his
writings and his times.London lived during the first true
mass-media era, when the use of photographic images ushered in a
new way of covering the news. With his discerning eye, London
recorded historical moments through the faces and bodies of the
people who lived them, creating memorable portraits of individuals
whose cultural differences pale beside their common humanity.
