From a large collection of antique gardening books,  it is unusual to have a gifted artist both illustrate and write her own book, as Clare Leighton has done for "Southern Harvest". It records the years she chose to live in the South and is highlighted by her beautiful, strong wood engravings that show cotton pickers, millers, corn shuckers, po' whites, and many others. This is a First Edition as stated, 1942, Macmillan, dust jacket is wrapped in vinyl.
