Between the Covers

Hardcover. Nine black and white gelatin silver photographs. Each measuring 8" x 10", without captions. Slight curling with some creasing else very good. A small archive of images taken by noted African-American Cleveland photographer Henry C. Crawford. The photographs depict a few different events, including two wonderful images from a large children's birthday party, a family gathering, and a few portraits. Some are stamped on the reverse side, it can be presumed that Crawford took all the photos. Crawford became well-known in Cleveland both for his profession, and also for marrying a white woman, making the couple one of the first interracial couples in Cleveland's elite society. A modest but interesting assemblage of images taken by a noted African-American photographer in the 1960s.
