Wayne and Barbara raise a crucial question which we could
collectively discuss more deeply; how do you discern
the “message” of a visual image, especially
if there is no explicit evidence in textual sources?
This is one of the key reasons why most historians
avoid visual evidence. Even art historians, after all,
use textual evidence as keys to unlocking the meaning
of visual expressions. Our problem here is the anonymity
of much revolutionary print-making. |
