Let Us Now Praise Famous Men; Three Tenant Families

8vo, 471pp with 31pp of photographic plates. A major work and a landmark in the history of photography. Evans's searing series of photographs, made under the auspices of the Farm Security Administration, USDA, confronts the reader immediately upon opening the book with image after image that helped define our picture of the Great Depression. This copy is from the library of the important American photographer and photo-theorist Allan Sekula, with his ownership stamp on the front pastedown. Edges marked; a handful of margins in the text portion show finger soil and some small spots (of blood?); exlibris stamp on front pastedown; spine stamping bright; covers moderately rubbed; edge worn dust jacket with price intact, spine faded and rear cover soiled, front jacket flap detached but complete.
