In Heber Springs, Arkansas, a reclusive photographer known simply as Disfarmer created an uncanny record of American rural life in the 1930s and 1940s. Portraits of farmers, soldiers, and families reveal his uniquely American vision of place. For this monograph of Disfarmer’s work, Jack Woody returned to the surviving glass-plate negatives, choosing approximately 200 for this book. A set of contact prints were made from the glass plates, and the book was printed on a sheet-fed gravure press in Kyoto, Japan. Gravure gives the images a richness and depth that evokes their time and place.
