About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead 7 Co, 1901. First Edition. Gift inscription dated 1901; ownership stamp on front pastedown; lightly shelf-rubbed, else bright and near fine. 8vo, 127pp; decorative green cloth printed in gilt and three colors. A nice copy of this volume from Dunbar's important late series of books featuring Hampton Institute photographs. This copy is offered together with a copy of another volume in the sequence: Poems of Cabin and Field, albeit one from which the title page has been neatly excised, rendering impossible the determination of edition. The photographs cntained in these volumes comprise an important contrbution both to the history of photography and the representation of Black life at the end of the nineteenth century. Both volumes are from the library of photographer and photo-theorist Allan Sekula, with his ownership stamp in each.
