A photo-essay from the Pulitzer Prize winning author and photographer who took the American South as her muse. Welty honed her photographic skills while working in PR for the Works Progress Administration. The photographs in this volume were all taken between 1930-1941 during the Great Depression, however, these fifty images do not just document the struggles of the working poor, but instead capture the joy of daily life and the humanity of Americans from all walks of life. As novelist Anne Tyler writes in her introduction to the book, the photographs are taken with kindness.
Herbert Yellin (1935-2014) established his small fine press in Northridge in 1978 to celebrate his favorite modern authors, from poets to science fiction writers. Lord John Press was committed to producing exquisite editions and this copy is a perfect example of that mission. Fine.
