With the invention of photography, the visual recordings of the ordinary and the extraordinary become possible to a versatile and definitive degree never before attainable. The result is a visual legacy such as is embodied within the pages of the Turner Publishing Company edition of "Historic Photos Of Virginia". Selected, organized and captioned by the husband and wife team of John and Emily Salmon, these period black-and-white photos are chronologically organized into four sections: From War to a New Century: 1861-1909; The Roaring Decades: 1910-1929; Depression and Victory: 1930-1945; and A Time of Great Change: 1946-1970s. Ideal for browsing and enhanced with a concluding 'Notes on the Photographs' section, "Historic Photos Of Virginia" is an impressive body of work and a welcome addition to personal, academic, and community library Photography collections, as well as Virginian History and American History reference shelves.
