Not only are the arguments and formal analyses moored Art and Ephemera in Edited by Andrew M. Wilson, Daniel to original material, but they are so cogently structured that it is hard to see them as anything but convincing. Art historians have much to learn from the approach Taws takes. He renders an entire realm of images and objects foundational to our understanding of the production, status, and meaning of New Editionrepresentation in the 1790s—and, in so doing, he develops models for thinking about the relation of the Revolutionary France Edited by Ricardo Hausmann W. Brauning, and Robert S. Mulvihill visual to political upheaval more generally. This is one of the most sophisticated accounts of material culture I have read.” ERIKA NAGINSKI, Harvard University
