Eudora Welly, "One Time, One Place: Mississippi in the Depression: A Snapshot Album" (Hardcover, Signed Limited Edition). Numbered 299/300. Signed.

One Time, One Place: Mississippi in the Depression: A Snapshot Album is a 1971 book by photographer Eudora Welty that presents a striking visual record of rural Mississippi during the 1930s. Drawn from her early work with a camera before she became known as a writer, the photographs capture everyday moments of African American and white Mississippians alike—children at play, families at home, workers in fields and towns—rendered with dignity, intimacy, and quiet strength. Taken during the Great Depression, the images avoid sensationalism, instead offering a compassionate, humanizing perspective on poverty and resilience in the South. Accompanied by Welty’s thoughtful captions and sequencing, the collection stands as both an artistic achievement and a historical document, preserving the faces and rhythms of a world in hardship yet rich in spirit.
