First Printing.
A reclusive portrait photographer of cult-like renown, Disfarmer created unmediated and unpretentious images of American rural life during the 1930s and 1940s from his studio in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Given the scarcity of material on him, this collection of previously unpublished or rarely seen photographs is welcome both as a valuable reference, and as a beautifully realized volume.
