New York: Robert Ballou, 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. very good+. One of 350 copies signed by Ulmann and Peterkin on the limitation page. All ninety (90) plates present, all original glassine tissue guards present for each photo. An additional print, depicting Gullah women in a foot washing service, is laid in and is additionally signed by Ulmann. This image was used as the cover photo for a biography of Ulmann called The Darkness and the Light (1974). This spine of this copy has been cleaned and gently recolored to repair some spotting -- the spine lettering is nice and clear (all original gilt). Lacking the plain cardboard slipcase. The additional plate is signed by Ulmann and has edge chips and tears caused by the plate sticking out from the book, since it was not bound in. No soiling to the rough edge textblock (top edge gilt). There is some toning on the bottom edges of pages at the front and back of the book, but nothing touching the images, as well as some random spots of edge toning on some other pages, never affecting the images. 3/4 morocco leather solander box with a separate chemise for the print. Signed By the Artist and Author. A solid copy, with the original signed print and glassines, of an absolute highspot of American photography and African-American history.

New York: Bobbs-Merrill, 1933. 1st trade edition, 2nd impression. The 70 pages of photographic studies of slaves by Doris Ulmann are stunning portrayals of the lives of African Americans in the South. This edition uses the original sheets printed by Ballou in 1933 (he is referenced on the verso of the half-title) with the Bobbs-Merrill title page. An unusual issue, the result of Ballou's bankruptcy and subsequent purchase by Bobbs-Merrill. 8vo, 251pp, 70pp photogravure illustrations. Publishers red cloth, title in black, with a damaged dust jacket with 2 rather large chips in it, one at the spine head, one at the lower front panel. Cloth with a couple of light marks, inner hinge papers are cracked but holding well and very clean internally.

Descripción:
New York: Robert O. Ballou, 1934. Second Printing. Hardcover. Very good. An account of African American life on Lang Syne, one of the largest plantations in South Carolina, written by the novelist Julia Peterkin and photographed by New York heiress Doris Ullman. "Ullman's soft-focus photos-rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here-straddle Pictorialism and Modernism, even as they appear to dissolve into memory. But if there's a romantic haze in the air, Ullman is more clear-eyed than sentimental about her subjects. Stripped of their veneer of self-conscious artistry, many of her pictures would not be out of place in a Farm Security Administration photo essay"-Roth, The Book of 101 Books, pages 78-79. I count 70 plates, reduced from the 90 of the limited edition issue. Second printing (stated). Nicely rebound in full blue morocco with gold tooling. Some of the plates are printed too dark and lack contract. Pencil notations of three pages.

New York: Bobbs-Merrill, [circa 1934; c.r. 1933]. 251 pages. Illustrated with 70 full-page reproductions of photographs (including the frontispiece, all printed with the text). Original red cloth with black spine lettering. 22 x 16 cm. Very good plus in very good or better dust jacket. Light soiling to top edge; free endpapers partially tanned; a little marginal soiling or foxing to the half-title; marginal smudge to one plate, not affecting image. Old gift inscription on the front free endpaper. The jacket has some light edgewear and a few tiny tears, with a few old tape reinforcements on the verso, and some rather faint soiling. Still an attractive example. The binding is sharp, the text and plates are clean, and the jacket is bright with none of the usual fading to the spine panel. EARLY TRADE EDITION AND THE FIRST BY THIS PUBLISHER. Uses the same sheets as the first trade edition published by Robert Ballou (first printing,1933; second, 1934) with a new title page.� Ballou's imprint is…

New York: Robert O. Ballou, 1933. First Edition. 8vo; 251pp, with 75 photographs on double-sided plates, including frontispiece; original blue cloth, gilt spine, edges faded about 1/8 in, endpapers a bit aged toned, jacket chipped along all edges rubbed ("E" in Peterkin missing on spine) with creases on both front panel, very good in used jacket. Julia Mood Peterkin (1880-1961), South Carolina native, lived on her husband's two-thousand acre plantation and also had a summer home at Murrell's Inlet, a coastal village. She wrote, with realism and dignity, plantation stories and stories of the Gullah African American tenant farmers of the Sea Islands and coastal regions. She was a sympathetic and outstanding commentator of the lives of this vanishing black culture. Doris Ulmann (1882-1934) was a well-respected photographer of the period who specialized in portraying the people of the "Southern Highlands" Appalachia and the coastal blacks Peterkin wrote about. Ulman's photographs of now vanished worlds…

Descripción:
New York: Robert O. Ballou, [1933]. 341 pages. 90 full-page, hand-pulled photogravures (including the frontispiece, all reckoned in the pagination). Lacking the extra, laid-in photogravure, being a duplicate of one of the images in the book, that is found with most copies. Early full vellum with gilt spine and cover lettering and gilt centerpiece on the front cover. 29 x 22 cm. Near fine. The photogravures are all in excellent condition. The text shows some very faint offsetting from the plates throughout, and a half dozen or so of the text pages show moderate foxing. Tissue guards, laid-in throughout, appear to be recent replacements. Housed in a plain linen slipcase, evidently of the same vintage as the binding. FIRST EDITION. #44 of 350 COPIES SIGNED BY JULIA PETERKIN AND DORIS ULMANN. One of the most celebrated American photobooks, “Roll, Jordan Roll “provides a stunning portrait of rural African American life in the low country of South Carolina. Most of the photographs were taken at…
