Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 1st Edition, Illustrated Edition. A compelling signed first edition of Archibald Rutledge's God's Children, inscribed in the year of publication and rooted firmly in the South Carolina landscape that shaped the author's life and work. This copy bears a warm and person…al inscription dated June 30, 1947, referencing "a quiet place along the Santee," an unmistakable allusion to Rutledge's beloved Hampton Plantation region. Unlike standard presentation copies, the inscription reflects a genuine sense of place and authorship, connecting the book directly to the environment it describes. Rutledge, South Carolina's first Poet Laureate, offers in this work a reflective and deeply personal account of life at Hampton Plantation. The volume is richly illustrated with striking photographic plates by Noble Bretzman, capturing scenes of rural Southern life—fishing, farming, hunting, and domestic moments—presented in a documentary style that enhances both the historical and visual appeal of the book. Of additional interest, this copy retains period travel ephemera laid in, including mid-20th century brochures relating to Colonial Williamsburg and the George Wythe House. These pieces provide an evocative glimpse into the historical tourism culture of the era and complement the book's Southern historical themes. The original dust jacket, though worn, remains present and features the subtitle "My Negro Friends at Hampton," reflecting the period language and historical context of the work. A desirable association copy combining first edition status, a meaningful contemporary inscription, strong photographic content, and period ephemera, offering collectors a layered and tangible connection to Rutledge's Southern world. Condition Book: Very Good Clean teal cloth binding with bright gilt lettering. Spine strong and square. Light edge wear. Interior clean with mild, even toning. Photographic plates well-preserved and clear. Dust Jacket: Fair Original jacket present with notable chipping to edges, especially at head and foot of spine. General wear, small losses, and edge tears. Still intact and presenting the original cover design. Additional: Signed and inscribed by the author on front endpaper, dated 1947. Period brochures laid in (Colonial Williamsburg / George Wythe House), included with the volume. Noble Bretzman (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
