Framing the West
The first major publication on O'Sullivan in more than 30 years, this book offers a new aesthetic and formal interpretation of O'Sullivan's photographs and assesses his influence on the larger photographic canon.
Timothy H. O'Sullivan
"Published to accompany an exhibition of the same name at the Art Institute of Chicago, Oct. 22, 2011-Jan. 15, 2012 and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Apr. 12-Aug. 26, 2012"--T.p. verso.
American Frontiers
"One of the first photographers to cross the American frontier, Timothy H. O'Sullivan met the challenge of the West's grandeur and mystery by creating landscapes of compelling subtlety and original vision. From 1867 to 1874, as photographer to the King and Wheeler geological surveys, O'Sullivan traveled thousands of miles, from San Francisco to Colorado, from the Arizona Indian territory to Idaho's Snake River. He made more than one thousand photographs in the field, ranging from scenes of the deserts of Nevada and California, the heights of the Humboldt Mountains, and torrential waters of Shoshone Falls to pictures taken inside mines illuminated by magnesium flares. O'Sullivan's western pho...

Timothy O'Sullivan, America's Forgotten Photographer
"Timothy H. O'Sullivan was one of America's great photographers as the more than 400 superb examples of his art reproduced here testify.... Until recently, many of O'Sullivan's finest photographs have mistakenly been attributed to Matthew Brady, his friend and mentor. Novelist and historian James D. Horan here sets the record straight, and through more than a decade of painstaking research, reconstructed the obcscure but remarkable life of a man of great talent and courage."--Dust jacket.
Timothy O'Sullivan, America's Forgotten Photographer
Timothy H. O'Sullivan was one of America's great photographers as the more than 400 superb examples of his art reproduced here testify. Yet, for over three-quarters of a century, the brilliant Civil War and frontier photographer has been forgotten by all but a handful of scholars and specialists. Until recently, many of O'Sullivan's finest photographs of the Civil War have been mistakenly attributed to Mathew Brady, his friend and mentor. Novelist and historian James D. Horan here set the record straight, and through more than a decade of painstaking research, reconstructed the obscure but remarkable life of a man of great talent and courage. O'Sullivan's works carried him through the major ...
The Civil War and American Art
Collects the best artwork created before, during and following the Civil War, in the years between 1859 and 1876, along with extensive quotations from men and women alive during the war years and text by literary figures, including Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain and Walt Whitman. 15,000 first printing.
Archive Style
"Archive Style successfully and beautifully reconciles, or rather intertwines, two viewpoints hitherto considered incompatible—the logic of the archive and the issue of individual style. Robin Kelsey shows, with great historical rigor, how the styles of illustrators Schott, O'Sullivan, and Jones emerged from the very necessities of survey work and from personal resistance to the social and political structures framing such work. Archive Style, visual history at its best, is a landmark study of nineteenth-century American visual and scientific culture."—François Brunet, Professor of American Art and Literature, Université Paris-Diderot-Paris 7, France "In this stunningly original book R...
Photography and the American Civil War
Published to coincide with the 150th anniverary of the battle of Gettysburg, features both familiar and rarely seen Civil War images from such photographers as George Barnard, Mathew Brady, and Timothy O'Sullivan.
The Waking Dream
"The 253 works in the exhibition, many of them rare or unique and all of exceptional print quality, have been culled from the more than five thousand that comprise the legendary but seldom exhibited Gilman Paper Company Collection, the most important private collection of photographs in the world.
