问答题A look through the Bettmann collection is like a journey through 15,000 years of history; from ancient cave drawings to the latest news photographs, there is scarcely a visual image that can’ t be found in its files. Subjects range from politicians to entertainment and sports figures, from the Parthenon in ancient Greece to the Sears Tower in Chicago. Famous news events and historical images alike which have been captured either by the blink of a shutter or the hand of an artist are part of Bettmann’ s extensive archive. From the Boston Tea Party in 1773 that helped ignite America’s war for independence to the civil rights marches in the U. S. South during the 1960s, Bettmann is a veritable history book of visual images.
