Description

This study explores a range of photographic images made during the 1910 revolution. Repeatedly reproduced across a range of media in the aftermath of the conflict, the analysis of this select handful of photographs brings to light compelling stories about cultural memory and identity in the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century. -- .
