Richard Lowry donates to Local Authors Project at Williamsburg Regional Library

Local author Richard Lowry donates a copy of his book "The Photographer and the President: Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Gardner, and the Images that Made a Presidency" to the Williamsburg Regional Library. Accepting the gift is Adult Services Librarian Rachael Nelson. The book explores Lincoln's association with Alexander Gardner, the man who would create the most memorable and ultimately iconic images of the president, both in his studio and on the battlefields of the Civil War. Richard Lowry is an award-winning professor of Nineteenth- and Twentieth-century American literature and cultural studies, visual culture (especially photography), and American studies at the College of William and Mary. He has written books on other photographers, as well as Mark Twain. This book will be added to the Local Authors Project at the Williamsburg Regional Library. For more information about the library's Local Authors Project please call 757.259.4042.
