ABSTRACT
We belong to a generation that has no time to read its Gibbon but will linger fascinated over a thousand images of history…The selection and interpretation of these pictures is a new art and constitutes a visual-literary form as revolutionary in our time as was the novel in the eighteenth century and the short story in the nineteenth. Today we are on the threshold of an even greater revolution whereby the eyes and ears of the world are being brought within the family through cinema and television. We are expanding the borders of Gutenberg's world beyond the setting of movable type.
