Review: Great Depression Photograph
Rating: 4 out of 5

As a collector of original 19th and 20th Century photography, I've owned a number of FSA Depression era photographs by Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, and Arthur Rothstein. So I was fascinated by this "The Story of a Photograph," an examination of one of Walker Evan's most famous images, that of Ellie Mae Burroughs, a young woman whose face came to symbolize America's Great Depression. An insightful and entertaining book, I'd recommend it to the serious photographer, collector, or historian.
