Mike Meyer, later Mike Disfarmer, was a reclusive portrait photographer living in Heber Springs, Arkansas in the early 20th century. His photography of the people living around Heber Springs during the 1930s and 40s would become an unprecedented trove of portraits of rural Americans, including children, farmers and tradespeople, soldiers on leave or before shipping out, and extended family portraits. It was indeed a source of entertainment for locals to go out on the weekend and have their picture taken at Disfarmer's studio. In the 1970s, then former professional photographer and newspaper editor Peter Miller recovered a trove of Disfarmer's photographs, and sought the assistence of the editor of Modern Photography, Julia Scully, in the publication of the photographs. The confrontational, direct gaze of the sitters, and the sometimes unconventional look of the sitters, was an effect reproduced by influential photographers of the mid-to-late 20th century. First edition limited to 4000 copies. Essay by Julia Scully. Hardcover. Condition: very good. 207 pages, large square octavo, 10in x 7.5in.
