Documentors of the Dream: Pioneer Jewish Photographers in the Land of Israel, 1890-1933
Editorial Reviews Wisconsin Bookwatch, May 1999 "This selection of photos documents pioneering Jewish photographers' images of Israel from 1890-1933, and will appeal to any with a special interest in Jewish history and culture. Each photographer receives a page charting their contributions to Jewish photography, with historical and cultural notes included. Primary research from mostly Israeli archives result to students of Jewish history as well as photographers." Book Description Documentors of the Dream is the first comprehensive book to chart the origins and development of Eretz Israel as seen through the eyes of Jewish photographers and their images are largely unknown and unpublished in the world of photographic history. It is a curios fact that Israel, the embodiment of a culture, language, and history, a symbol of nationhood for Jews, almost never appears in photographs of the Holy Land. Most photographs of the period reflect a predominantly Christian world in a period of colonial expansion. Documentors of the Dream is a stunning and beautiful testament to an emerging art form and the emerging nation it captured.
