Let’s Play Hookey, 1911 by Edward Weston

Every artist is at first an amateur. Peter Henry Emerson

We are grateful for the many friends and colleagues who have allowed us the generous use of their copyrighted photographs. Without them, we would have been limited in the number of diverse photographs used in our book. Their names accompany their photographs. Where there is no listed authorship of a photograph, it is from iStock. We appreciate the vast diversity of their imaging resources. We are also grateful to Dover Publications for making available copyright-free high-resolution historical photographs and paintings. A special thanks goes out to Vicki H. Wilson, not only for the photographs she contributed but also for many different ways she so graciously assisted us, including some writing. Thanks also to our editor, David Albon in the London office and in the Boston office, Cara St. Hilaire, Kara Race-Moore, Stacey Walker, and Project Manager Melinda Rankin. It was indeed a pleasure working with them.
