"This second volume of the set reprints portions of the 3,300-item collection of illustrated nineteenth-century newspapers that Richard C. Schneider assembled over a 35-year period. The newspapers include Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, Harper's Weekly, and Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion. AAHP was designed to give readers the "opportunity to witness the positive and negative portrayal of African Americans in more than 1,200 articles and editorials and over 470 cartoons and engravings as depicted in 13 major newspapers . . ." It is organized into chapters by year; each year begins with a brief historical overview followed by a nonfacsimile presentation of headlines, articles, and illustrations from newspapers of the time." --Amazon.com.
