Author Julia Peterkin's own copy, number #3 of only 350 copies, of which 327 were offered for sale, signed by both photographer Doris Ulmann and Peterkin on the limitation page. Presuambly the first few copies were given to the publisher, author, and photographer. Letter of provenance from a descendant of Peterkin laid in. Printed by letter press and with 90 superb tissue-guarded full-page copperplate hand-pulled photogravure plates and with an additional original signed photogravure. 342 pp. Bound in publisher's original brown paper boards over half cream cloth with spine lettered in gilt. Lacking slipcase. Near Fine with light rubbing and soiling to boards, front hinge a bit free, light foxing to contents, typical offsetting from photos. A very clean, attractive copy. "Ulmann's photographic collaboration with Julia Peterkin focuses on the lives of former slaves and their descendants on a plantation in the Gullah coastal region of South Carolina. Peterkin, a popular novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929, was born in South Carolina and raised by a black nursemaid who taught her the Gullah dialect before she learned standard English. She married the heir to Lang Syne, one of the state's richest plantations, which became the setting for Roll, Jordan, Roll. Ulmann'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" (Roth, 101 Books).
