Hardcover. 8vo. Alliance Book Corporation. 1940. 145 pgs.Illustrated with numerous photographs from Farm Security Photographers such as Walker Evans, Ben Shahn, Dorothea Lange, Russell Lee, Marion Post, Arthur Rothstein and many others. First Edition/First Printing. Signed and inscribed by Sherwood Anderson on the FFEP. DJ has shelf-wear, rubbing present to the DJ especially around the extremities (chips and missing pieces present to the extremities of the DJ). No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards lightly rubbed and worn. In the small town, where everybody knows everybody's first name where everybody knows everybody's business, Sherwood Anderson sees the foundation and the test stone of democracy. The Farm Security Agency is well known for the influence of their photography program, 1935-1944. Photographers and writers were hired to report and document the plight of poor farmers. The Information Division of the FSA was responsible for providing educational materials and press information to the public. Many of the most famous Depression-era photographers were fostered by the FSA project. Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Gordon Parks were three of the most famous FSA alumni. This portrait of small town America is more nostalgic than investigative and features photographs by Ben Shahn, Arthur Rothstein, Walker Evans, Marion Post, Russell Lee, John Vachon and Dorothea Lange.
