The brochure features a cover photograph by Eudora Welty from the MDAH Welty Collection. The theme of the first edition, home places, is reflected in images of home taken during the 1930s in Utica, Grenada, Yazoo County, and Jackson, Mississippi. The photographs were selected by Eudora Welty with the assistance of Patti Carr Black, former director of the Old Capitol Museum. Printed by James Patterson from original negatives in the Department's Welty Collection, the photographs are archivally processed to meet the standards of the Image Permanency Institute. Each photograph will bear an imprint for the Welty Collection and the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
Prints are available individually or in a set of five.
Home Places is the first of five proposed sets. Each set will contain five images in an edition of 300 prints of each image.
