WELTY, EUDORA. Eudora Welty Photographs. Foreword by Reynolds Price. Jackson, Miss.: University Press of Mississippi, 1989. First Edition. One of 375 copies signed by the author, Eudora Welty. A work of astounding beauty and intelligent grace, Welty’s photographs speak to the central themes that form the core of her writing: the simple elegance of everyday existence, the complexities of the human spirit, and the often harsh, eloquent drama of the common life. Taken largely in the South in the 30’s as part of the W.P.A. project, one is immediately struck by what Reynolds Price refers to in his foreword as the ‘patent trust’ Welty inspires in her subjects. He observes how a connection is made, a self is revealed, and we are the richer for it. As new in publisher’s slipcase.
