Only edition. Miss Welty has signed this copy below her photograph at the part-title page. Quarto, 11-26pp; photographic brown wrappers (perfect bound). Minor wear to spine ends. Near fine. The appendix prints a selected bibliography for Eudora Welty and for Walker Evans. Bill Ferris grew up on a farm just outside of Jackson, Mississippi which the Weltys occasionally visited. As an interviewer, he possessed an uncommon familiarity with Weltys world. The juxtaposition with the work of Walker Evans is suggestive. Striking compositions inform Evans work; the people his camera captures are almost always incidental. In Welty, they are the photograph. The 18 photographs are drawn from Welty's article Literature and the Lens which appeared in the August 1, 1944 issue of VOGUE and from ONE TIME, ONE PLACE. Text of the Ferris interview reprinted in CONVERSATIONS WITH EUDORA WELTY (Polk AA4), omitting the photographs, however. The photographs are eloquent and masterly. As of yet, no exhaustive compilation of Miss Welty's photographs has been published; and, while the VOGUE article is accessible, not readily so. Polk I26.

News service photograph of Jane Addams and Stanley Field after having received their honorary doctorates in law from the University of Chicago. Photograph: 8-1/2 x 6-1/2", black and white glossy photography with caption attached at lower edge. Blue stamp of International Newsreel at reverse. Some ruffling. About very good. The caption reads: "Miss Jane Adams [sic] and Mr. Stanley Field who were given honorary degrees by the Chicago University today in [its] winter convocation. Hono[rary] degrees of doctor of laws were confirmed upon the two distinguished Chicagoans" with the note: "sent to all bureaus, Hearts papers and Fast Mail". If Jane Addams had provoked controversy in earlier years, by 1930 American considered her an icon of much that was admirable and worth emulation. This news service photograph documents a particular moment in her long career and reflects the stature she achieved.

Reprint of a photograph taken in 1939 at Eudora Welty's home in Jackson, Mississippi, signed by her in the white margin below, "Eudora Welty". Black-and-white photograph, 7 x 5". Fine. George Marion O'Donnell (1914-1962), born and raised in Midnight, Mississippi, formed a close association with the Agrarian School while studying at Vanderbilt University. By 1940 his writings of poetry, fiction and criticism had attained sufficient recognition within literary circles to win him inclusion in the well-known New Directions anthology FIVE YOUNG AMERICAN POETS. The anthology, however, proved to be the apogee of his writing career. While his career as a writer flagged, another as an academic thrived. He served on the faculties of a number of institutions successfully promoting the work of William Faulkner and other Southern writers. Friends and fellow writers, O'Donnell and Welty saw each other and corresponded. This snapshot of the two young writers together, seated on a sofa in Miss Welty's living room, suggests the warmth of their relationship. Though the photograph is a reproduction only, it is an attractive image of these two Mississippi writers and, of course, nice with Miss Welty's signature.

First edition. Square 4to, unpaginated; aqua cloth binding lettered in dark blue at the spine; photographic dust jacket. Fine. With an essay by the photographer on "Summer Time". The book prints 65 full-color photographs by Joel Meyerowitz. Meyerowitz and his work with color photography is closely associated with Provincetown and Cape Cod as a whole. The images are at once familiar and haunting: a golden labrador retriever sitting at water's edge looking out at his family playing in the ocean; a solitary rower; brilliant red roses climbing a white trellis; sandy concrete steps to the lapping ocean below; a cross-and-bible white wooden door flung open to the front door with a summer's day beyond; a group of friends on a sand dune, their faces lit by the glow of the setting sun. A wonderful rendering of the season of the sun.
