The image of the American West persists as one of the nation's most enduring cultural symbols, and few photographers have captured more compelling images of the American frontier than Timothy H. O'Sullivan. The work of O'Sullivan, much of whose work is in the collections of the Library of Congress, is presented in "Framing the West: The Survey Photographs of Timothy H. O'Sullivan" (Yale University Press, in association with the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian American Art Museum, 2010). This lavishly illustrated volume was the subject of a discussion and signing by three of its authors, (the other is Glenn Willumson). Speakers' Biographies: Toby Jurovics is curator of photography at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Carol Johnson is curator of photography at the Library of Congress, Will Stapp is an independent scholar of photography
