Drawing on the extraordinary collection of the Library of Congress, one of the greatest repositories for silent film and memorabilia, Peter Kobel has created the definitive visual history of silent film. From its birth in the 1890s, with the earliest narrative shorts, through the brilliant full-length features of the 1920s, Silent Movies captures the greatest directors and actors and their immortal films. Written by Peter Kobel. Foreword by Martin Scorsese. 9.25" x 12.25".

Richly illustrated from the Library of Congress’s extensive collection of posters, paper prints, film stills, and memorabilia, Silent Movies is an important work of history that will also be a sought-after gift book for all lovers of film.
