Features 79 b/w photographs (including frontispiece) of Mississippi cemeteries taken by Eudora Welty in the 1930s and 1940s. From the publisher's catalogue: "Her camera eye focused on distinctive funerary emblems, statuary, storied urns, and appealing folklife qualities expressed in the gravestones. Just as many pieces of Welty's fiction feature lyrical descriptions of cemeteries and graves . . . so too do these photographs taken in the cool, sequestered churchyards and graveyards of Jackson, Port Gibson, Churchill, Rodney, Utica, Crystal Springs, Vicksburg, Rocky Springs, and sites near the old Natchez Trace. [The photographs] not only document her rambles but also accent the images of regional cemeteries that appear in her stories and novels. This is her unique eyeview of the southern graveyard and of its unusual artworks that arrested her attention . . ." Also includes an introductory essay titled AN ABUNDANCE OF ANGELS by Elizabeth Spencer with a prefatory five page essay/interview by Hunter Cole titled EUDORA AMONG HER PHOTOGRAPHS in which Welty shares her impressions and memories of the book's haunting images. University Press of Mississippi also issued a slipcased edition limited to 150 copies along with this trade edition and both share the same ISBN which causes some confusion.
