IMAGES OF POWER

Historians use visual sources as well as documents to understand the past. Look again at the Library of Congress presentation on Types of Sources to learn about visual sources. (You don't have to go through their whole learning exercise, but  if you have time you'll probably find it fun as well as useful.)

Take the Images of  Power  tour.  Look at each image as a source of information about the social hierarchy and economic life of the Ancien Regime. Be sure you have worked through the Lecture IV notes and the assigned TB pages. As you go through this exhibit:

1. Note which images might be useful for illustrating parts of the Lecture IV notes.
In the Caucus item for Virtual Session II write a few sentences explaining two of your choices.

 2. Note which images you would use for understanding at least two SB or Web documents from the Ancien Regime. In the Caucus item  write a few sentences explaining your two choices and give a quotation from each source you might use as a caption for the image. 

Post your first contribution before Friday night. Over the weekend read all the other contributions and make at least one other post responding to your colleagues' ideas to deepen our discussion of this material or add some more ideas of your own  before Tuesday's  class meeting.
