In 1971 she surprised her readers with this important book, for in \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e many of them learned for the first time that this revered writer was also a gifted photographer. \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e is the only book of Welty's where she selected all images. Throughout her writing career, Welty's camera was a close companion. The one hundred pictures included here are for the first time digitally scanned to maximize the contrast and beauty of her vision. These are her selections from many she took during the Great Depression as she traveled in her home state of Mississippi. These pictures are poignant images of human endurance. For her, looking back, they showed a record of a time and a place, an impoverished world that against great odds sustained a sense of community. Both Black and white, the men, women, and children she photographed, unaware that they are coping with dire conditions, press onward with their lives. \"The Depression, in fact,\" Welty says in her introduction, \"was not a noticeable phenomenon in the poorest state in the Union.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The foreword by William Maxwell, Eudora Welty's dear friend and esteemed colleague in literature, offers an appreciation of this photographer's special genius and a loving glimpse into her artistic world. This new version of \u003ci\u003eOne Time, One Place\u003c\/i\u003e keeps the original photos and foreword intact, while providing higher-quality versions of the classic images.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEudora Welty \u003c\/b\u003ewas the author of many novels and story collections, including \u003ci\u003eThe Optimist's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), \u003ci\u003eLosing Battles\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Ponder Heart\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Robber Bridegroom\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eA Curtain of Green and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as collections of her photographic work--\u003ci\u003ePhotographs\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCountry Churchyards\u003c\/i\u003e, both published by University Press of Mississippi.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51998185423122,"sku":"9781496861238","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_ce2fc9af-49df-4d73-b8f1-15ba8d8c3ae7.jpg?v=1770142776","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/one-time-one-place-mississippi-in-the-depression-a-snapshot-album-updated-edition-9781496861238","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
