Atlanta Scenes: Photojournalism in the Atlanta History Center Collection (GA) (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Atlanta, the thriving capital of the New South, has a rich and fascinating history. In Atlanta Scenes, authors Kimberly S. Blass and Michael Rose draw from the works of some of the cityâ€™s earliest and finest photojournalistsâ€•Francis Price, Marion Johnson, Bill Wilson, and Kenneth Rogersâ€•to bring that history to life. Atlanta Scenes documents some of the cityâ€™s noteworthy events, personalities, and landmarks, many of which will be readily identifiable. The images range from the everyday (baseball games at Ponce de Leon Ballpark, boys on bicycles, and Humane Society dog rescues) to the eventful (the Gone with the Wind premiere, the deadly Winecoff Hotel fire, and the infamous Leo Frank trial). Many scenes reflect the iconography of the Old South, while others provide insight into the harsh realities of twentieth-century life. In this volume, well-crafted, artistic images blend with on-the-spot action shots.
