Product Description

From minstrelsy to the folk music revival of the twentieth century the banjo has continued to attract audiences and acquire meaning. This book offers an examination of the instrument's portrayal in images that range from anonymous photographs of performers to paintings by Thomas Eakins and prints by Dox Thrash.
