Eyewitnessing by Peter Burke
Evaluates the place of images among other kinds of historical evidence. By reviewing the many varieties of images by region and medium, and looking at the pragmatic uses of images, the author sheds light on our assumption that these practical uses are "reflections" of specific historical meanings.
Peter Burke is Professor Emeritus of Cultural History and Fellow of Emmanuel College, Cambridge. His many books include What is Cultural History? (2004) and A Social History of Knowledge (Volume I, 2000; Volume II, 2012).
