A Pictorial History was just that, a chronological collection of movie stills accompanied by brief descriptions of the movies from the silent-film era to 1949. It was the first course in my film education. Its beautiful black-and-white images re-created the visions and emotions of the movies I’d already seen, and allowed me to dream about the others. It wasn’t until some thirty years later that I was able to own a copy of the book (it had gone out of print and was difficult to find).
