Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt, Brace & Company. Very Good- with no dust jacket. 1938. First Edition. Original cloth. With plates. Slight soiling to back endpapers. Small spot of foxing to front endpapers. Slight wear & slight soiling to spine, covers & corners. ; "Land of the Free," published in 1938 and authored by Archibald MacLeish, is a compelling combination of poetry and photography that captures the essence of the American experience during the Great Depression. The book employs a unique narrative style, weaving MacLeish's poignant, reflective poems with powerful photographic images sourced from the era, portraying the struggles and resilience of Americans during this tumultuous period. The photos complement the text, enhancing the emotional gravity of the themes discussed, such as hardship, community, and the enduring spirit of the American people. The work is not only a literary achievement but also an important historical artifact, providing a multidimensional perspective on the economic and social challenges of the 1930s in the United States. "Land of the Free" was once a part of the extensive photography book collection of Chris Steele-Perkins, a renowned British photographer and a significant member of Magnum Photos. Steele-Perkins, celebrated for his profound and empathetic documentation of societies, added this book to his collection, highlighting his interest in photography that narrates powerful social stories and historical moments. His role in Magnum, an international photographic cooperative known for its commitment to humanistic photography, was pivotal. Steele-Perkins contributed to Magnum’s legacy by capturing transformative events and everyday life, focusing on themes of migration, culture, and identity across the globe, particularly in Britain and the developing world. His collection, including works like "Land of the Free," reflects his dedication to using photography as a tool for social commentary and historical documentation. ; Quarto; 93 pages .
