These illustrated periodicals helped to shape nations where nations had not previously existed - such as with Germany, Italy, and Canada, which were only just coming into their own as states. In war, Martin observes, these documents also represented a non-verbal method of communicating emotionally trying, politically challenging, and oftentimes contradictory information to the public, literate and non-literate alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe history of nineteenth-century illustrated papers underscores their legitimacy as a form of journalism. They were more than a commodity produced for profit; they offered serious reflection and commentary on the times designed by editors to have specific effects on the readers. \u003ci\u003eImages at War\u003c\/i\u003e is a much-needed study of this early news medium and its part in the construction of nationalism in the midst of war.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mich?le Martin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487558708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487558703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Mich?le Martin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807094722815,"sku":"9781487558703","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f68a417b-a512-44eb-8fdd-3701bc2cf19f.jpg?v=1745378538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/images-at-war-michle-martin-9781487558703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
