nThe Taking of Vimy Ridge explores the life and works of William Ivor Castle, a Canadian official First World War photographer known for staging and manipulating his photographs. n nCastle shot more than 1000 photographs during his time as official photographer attached to the Canadian Corps, and his iconic (though sometimes manipulated) scenes of war created a sensation at Londons Grafton Galleries during the war. But the remainder of his wartime oeuvre, and Castle himself, are less well-remembered today. n nThe Taking of Vimy Ridge analyzes the unique relationship between Castle and the Canadian War Records Office and distinguishes several of Castles never-before-identified manipulated works as he attempted to illustrate the Battle of Vimy Ridge--one of Canadas most mythologized First World War battles--to audiences around the world. n nDrawing from Canadian and British archival records, as well as Castles complete body of work from the Battle of Vimy Ridge, this richly illustrated book offers a much more expansive understanding of Castles contribution to both war photography and our understanding of portrayals of the First World War, including a close interpretation of the technical choices he made in framing his images, and the context in which this oeuvre developed.n
