Review
"The catalogue of a fall 2007 exhibition at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, The Art of the American Snapshot reproduces some 250 snapshots, drawn from the collection of Robert E. Jackson and from recent gifts he has made to the National Gallery. Organized chronologically, the book traces the evolution of American snapshot imagery and describes how technical, social, and cultural factors affected the look of snapshots at different periods."--Jacket
