Description: Second Printing Bound in Full MoroccoRoll, Jordan, Roll Author: Peterkin, Julia and Doris Ulmann Title: Roll, Jordan, Roll Publication: New York: Robert O. Ballou, 1934. Second Printing Edition: Second Printing Description: Hardcover. An account of African American life on Lang Syne, one of the largest plantations in South Carolina, written by the novelist Julia Peterkin and photographed by New York heiress Doris Ullman. "Ullman's soft-focus photos-rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here-straddle Pictorialism and Modernism, even as they appear to dissolve into memory. But if there's a romantic haze in the air, Ullman is more clear-eyed than sentimental about her subjects. Stripped of their veneer of self-conscious artistry, many of her pictures would not be out of place in a Farm Security Administration photo essay"-Roth, The Book of 101 Books, pages 78-79.I count 70 plates, reduced from the 90 of the limited edition issue. Very good. Second printing (stated). Nicely rebound in full blue morocco with gold tooling. Some of the plates are printed too dark and lack contract. Pencil notations of three pages.
