London was also an accomplished photographer, producing nearly twelve thousand photographs during his lifetime. \u003ci\u003eJack London, Photographer\u003c\/i\u003e, the first book devoted to London's photography, reveals a vital dimension of his artistry, barely known until now. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLondon's subjects included such peoples as the ragged homeless of London's East End and the freezing refugees of the Russo-Japanese War, the latter photographed on assignment for the Hearst Syndicate. For \u003ci\u003eCollier's\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, London wrote his eyewitness account of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire and returned two weeks later with his camera to document a city in ruins but slowly recovering. During his voyage aboard the Snark, London produced humane images of the South Seas islanders that contrasted dramatically with the period's stereotypical portraits of indigenous peoples. In 1914 he documented the U.S. invasion of Veracruz during the Mexican Revolution. Although some of his images were used in newspaper and magazine stories and in his books \u003ci\u003eThe People of the Abyss\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Cruise of the Snark\u003c\/i\u003e, the majority have remained unpublished until now. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume's more than two hundred photographs were printed from the original negatives in the California State Parks collection and from the original photographs in albums at the Huntington Library. They are reproduced here as duotones from silver gelatin prints. The general and chapter introductions place London's photographs in the context of his writings and his times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLondon lived during the first true mass-media era, when the use of photographic images ushered in a new way of covering the news. With his discerning eye, London recorded historical moments through the faces and bodies of the people who lived them, creating memorable portraits of individuals whose cultural differences pale beside their common humanity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeanne Campbell Reesman (Author) \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e JEANNE CAMPBELL REESMAN is a professor of English at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
