Reveals how visual representations of labour, technology, and industry were crucial in shaping the way nineteenth-century Americans understood their nation and its place in the world. Through the examination of popular as well as fine art, Vanessa Meikle Schulman illuminates an evolving tension between the perception of technology and industry as rational, logical, and systemic on the one hand and as essentially unknowable, strange, or irrational on the other.
