Eudora Welty's Photographs, originally published in 1989, serves as the definitive book of the critically acclaimed writer's photographs. Her camera's view finder conveys deep compassion and her artist's sensibilities. Eudora Welty's Photographs is a deeply felt documentation of 1930s Mississippi taken by a keenly observant photographer who showed the human side of her subjects.

Also included in the book are photographs from Welty's travels to New York, New Orleans, South Carolina, Mexico, and Europe in the 1930s, '40s, and '50s. The photographs in this edition are new digital scans of Welty's original negatives, restoring the images to their original glory.

It also features sixteen additional images, several of which were selected by Welty for her 1936 photography exhibit in New York City and have never before been reproduced for publication, along with a resonant foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and Mississippi native Natasha Trethewey.
