"I haven't anything against color photography, but I love black and white. Just like black-and-white movies." — Welty
Taken throughout the 1930s, 40s, and 50s (many while she was working for the WPA), these images reveal (as described in foreword by Reynolds Price) Welty's "instant indelible force" as a photographer. Also includes an introductory interview with Welty.
