Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An unexplored visual history of the melding of art, photography and journalism takes the reader back to the days before Photoshop and reveals how newspaper editors would doctor images for effect and intent. These images, from 1900-1960, illustrate the range of art enhancement, from outlining and airbrushing to complete overpainting with subjects ranging from crime scenes, world events and social personalities. Presenting original photographs in an area still open to dicovery and collecting, NEWS ART is a guide for collectors and curators.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [124]-125).

"... presents the unexplored visual history of the melding of art, photography, and journalism. It is the first work to document the fascinating combination of art and photography necessary to achieve accurate copy or story emphasis in newspapers. These images from 1900-1960 illustrate the range of art enhancement-- from simple outlining or airbrushing to complete overpainting. They are all individual creations, one-of-akind photographs. Even if other newspapers used a copy of the same photograph, as was often the case, the artistic preparation was unique. The subjects are as varied as our world: crime scenes, world events, social and business personalities, and human interest stories. All were important in their time and some stand as timeless icons."--Amazon.
