Art for the Middle Classes: America's Illustrated Magazines of the 1840s
How did the average American learn about art in the mid-nineteenth century? With public art museums still in their infancy, and few cities and towns large enough to support art galleries or print shops, Americans relied on mass-circulated illustrated magazines. One group of magazines in particular, known collectively as the Philadelphia pictorials, circulated fine art engravings of paintings, some produced exclusively for circulation in these monthlies, to an eager middle-class reading audience. These magazines achieved print circulations far exceeding those of other print media (such as illustrated gift books, or catalogs from art-union membership organizations).
British and American National Symbols in the EFL Classroom
The manual offers some ways of using British and American national symbols in the EFL classroom. It is expected to become an essential resource for teachers and lecturers willing to make their classes Country Studies oriented. The manual DVD will help to achieve the aim.
