At 4:30PM on Thursday, February 16, 2023, I will be presenting a paper at the 111th Annual Conference of the College Art Association (CAA) to be held at the New York Hilton Midtown. The paper will discuss race's relationship to the development of mass visual culture in the United States within the context of nineteenth-century periodical illustration.
