What is Copyright Protection? Drawing the Western Frontier: The James E. Taylor Album f the many photographic albums in the National Anthropological Archives, perhaps the most interesting and historically important is a scrapbook kept by an American illustrator, James E. Taylor (1839-1901). A professional artist, Taylor’s newspaper illustrations served to popularize stereotypes of the Western frontier during the post-Civil War years. Like other illustrators and writers of the period, he depicted Indian-White relations in terms of savagery versus civilization and encouraged Americans to visualize the nation’s Westward expansion in heroic terms. In many ways, Taylor’s professional legacy as a "reporter" is lodged between the technological juncture that existed between newspaper publishing and photography in the 19th century. Until the mid-19th century, stories carried by newspapers could not be illustrated and readers had to use their imagination based solely on textual descriptions.

Así, a primera vista, la lista parece bastante completa y coherente, aunque por supuesto los autores de lengua inglesa son la gran mayoría. Echo de menos, sin embargo, algunos títulos: algo de Michael Moorcock (por ejemplo, el ciclo de ‘Elric de Melniboné‘), o de Robert E.
