Photographic Memory: William Henry Jackson and the American West

From cartoonist Bill Griffith, Photographic Memory: William Henry Jackson and the American West (2025–present, Harry N. Abrams) is a single-issue graphic biography that explores the life and legacy of the pioneering photographer whose images helped shape the nation's vision of the frontier. Griffith brings his signature blend of meticulous research and expressive cartooning to Jackson's journey, from his Civil War service to his iconic work documenting Yellowstone and the transcontinental railroad. It's a compact, visually rich portrait of an artist whose camera captured a vanishing West.
