1990 · N.p.
by Welty, Eudora
N.p., 1990. Small collection of works by the Pulitzer-Prize winning Mississippi author and photographer, Eudora Welty. A private collection formed primarily in the late 1980s through the mid-1990s, this group spans Welty's long career and includes several early magazine appearances.
Most of Welty's regularly published books are present, and most present as near fine to fine.
Of especial note are those copies with Welty's autograph: The Ponder Heart (autograph laid in, and signed by the full cast of the theatrical production), A Pageant of Birds (Albondocani Press), Women!! Make Turban in Own Home!, "For Reynolds Price," One Writer's Beginnings, The Optimist's Daughter, Place in Fiction, Acrobats in a Park, Bye-Bye Brevoort, Eudora Welty in Black and White, and Retreat.
Other copies show the range of Welty's pen, and the relative scarcity of some of her titles: A Curtain of Green (no d/w); The Wide Net; The Golden Apples; The Bride of the Innisfallen; The Robber Bridegroom; Delta Wedding (2 copies); The Shoe Bird; and Losing Battles.
In addition, the collection gathers a number of small press editions, including In Black and White from Lord John Press; two copies of Retreat published by Palaemon Press, A Pageant of Birds from Albondocani Press, and The Little Store miniature from Tamazunchale Press, among others.
Twenty-seven discreet titles in total, as well as three issues containing early published appearances in The Southern Review from the late 1930s, and Barry Moser's woodcut portrait (1/100).
Short-title list available upon request. (Inventory #: 33448)
