It was, in essence, the Google Images of its day. Since its initial beginnings in 1914 the Picture Collection has been a unique public service for New York Citys thriving educational, cultural and commercial enterprises, both as a muse and as a critical resource. The story of the Picture Collection is also the story of Romana Javitz (1903-1980) who headed the Picture Collection from 1929 to 1968. <em>Words on Pictures</em> presents previously unpublished writings and interviews by Javitz, revealing her remarkable understanding of the social impact of print and film media, especially photography and cinema.</strong></h4><h4></h4><h4><strong><em>Words on Images</em> presents an array of reports, speeches, and white papers written by Javitz, many published for the first time, that show her firm grasp of the dialectic of visual literacy. Also included are two interviews of Javitz and her own interview of the photographer Sol Libsohn (1914-2001), revealing Javitzs innate understanding of photography and its place in the public. It is through her written word that we can witness history best and <em>Words on Pictures</em> delivers.</strong></h4><h4></h4><h4><strong>The media companies located in New York City during these years, with all its productive exuberance, generated massive amounts of printed media on paper, much of which ended up in the Picture Collections stock. This picture stock became a form of visual evidence of the cultural and commercial output of any given decade. What the Picture Collection did was classify these images as subjects and allowed the public to repurposed them into new documents, new meanings, new ideas.</strong></h4><h4></h4><h4><strong>The</strong> <a hrefhttp://archives.nypl.org/nypla/5850><strong>historical record of the Picture Collection</strong></a> <strong>is largely complete and housed at the New York Public Librarys Manuscripts and Archives Division. It is a testament to the work of the Picture Collections administrators and staff who over the years served the visual needs of its clients: businessmen, artists, teachers, librarians and the general public. The records Javitz and her predecessors and successors preserved offer a window into the cultural use of pictures for over 100 years. It will remain an important source for historians and students for years to come.</strong></h4>9781734640915_Photo Verso Publications LLClibro_electonico_96378da5-d50b-3eec-8f3c-118cc06649ea_9781734640915;9781734640915_9781734640915Anthony TroncaleInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/ingram30-epub-ff1bc75e-a2ba-45b4-a822-73d3cf11e2b0.epub2021-08-01T00:00:00+00:00Photo Verso Publications LLC
