Hardcover. First edition. Owner name on the front pastedown, and initials on the front fly, slight wear at the foot, and light overall wear, including a little foxing on the very edges of the margins of the photographic illustrations. A solid, very good copy lacking the dustwrapper. Issued in a small edition, an extended essay on rural poverty with arresting images by Evans. Aside from its place in literary history, the Walker Evans images have made it something of an iconic volume for students of photography.
