A. Morgan, PhD'90,
Protestants and Pictures: Religion, Visual Culture, and the Age
of American Mass Production (Oxford University Press). Morgan

between 1820 and 1920 by using mass-produced images to dedicate
religious revival, proselytism, mass education, and domestic nurture
in the name of national renewal.
