In mid-nineteenth-century Britain, literacy was by no means universal, and printed imagery captured the popular imagination in a way that words alone could not. Anderson combines modern cultural theory and historical evidence to demonstrate how people of all kinds–especially workers and women–interacted with the printed image, helping to shape the increasingly visual culture that was ultimately to lead to the growth of twentieth-century mass media.
