Eudora Welty (1909-2001) is acknowledged as one of the great authors of the twentieth century and in more recent years her talent as a photographer has been recognized. Eudora Welty in New York: Photographs of the Early 1930s features 50 black-and-white photographs from her home state of Mississippi that constitute a near complete re-creation of her first solo exhibition held in 1936 at the Photographic Galleries of Lugene Opticians in New York City. The recreation is supplemented with eleven of Welty’s photographs taken in New York City. Together these photographs capture America in the depths of the Great Depression revealing a compassion and sensitivity towards her subject that also became a hallmark of her writing.
