Margaret Bourke-White, "Dahlonega, Georgia" from the Collection "Have You Seen Their Faces", silver gelatin print, 1937. Hand stamped in purple en verso "A Margaret Burke-White Photograph" and inscribed in pencil the number 605. Sheet: 9.25"H x 13.25"W; Frame: 16.625"H x 20.5"W. Provenance: Erskine Caldwell's wife (Mt. Vernon, Maine); to consignor's father through descent, James D. Julia, 08/2010; Private Texas Collection. Note: Margaret Bourke-White (American, 1904-1971) and Erskine Caldwell spent eighteen months traveling the south documenting the daily hardships faced by sharecroppers. "The south has been taking a beating for a long time, and the pain and indignity is beginning to tell. It can be seen any day now in the lean and hungry faces of men. It means unrest." Erskine Caldwell. This image deftly captures Caldwell's sentiment and yet manages somehow to re-enforce the steadfastness of the resolve of the people of the South to make it through those lean times. This image was chosen as the cover of their book, "Have You Seen Their Faces," originally published in 1937.
