Part of a series of New York Public Library exhibitions on the Spanish-American War. "Each of the communities linked to that conflict remembers and has named the war in its own particular way. Through an examination of patriotic appeals in newspapers, pamphlets, popular books, maps, sheet music, poetry, cartoons, lithographs, photographs, lantern slides, and early motion pictures, this exhibition explores the sources of those memories and perceptions." http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/epo/spanexhib/ Topics: Communications, Government, Nonfiction by Genre, Photograph Collections, Photograph Collections: Regional: United States, Poetry, Politics, September 11 & Beyond, United States History, Wars & Conflicts Last updated Nov 3, 2004 |
