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.
