This is copy number 10 of 350 numbered copies Signed by both Peterkin and Ulmann, of which 327 were offered for sale. The low number in this copy (number 10) would seem to indicate that this was one of the 23 copies not for sale and reserved for the author and photographer. Also laid into the book is a bookseller's receipt dated in 1980, sending the book and noting it was bought from William Peterkin, Peterkin's grandson. Additionally, a brief note from Julia Peterkin is laid in on Lang Syne Plantation stationary in 1930, predating the publication of the book. Peterkin's text, about former enslaved people and their descendants on a plantation in the coastal Gullah region of South Carolina, is accompanied by Ulmann's spectacular deep and rich, hand-pulled gravure photographs, including 18 that were not included when the trade edition of the book was published. Issued with the additional photographic print present and laid in, which is now seldom found in the company of the book itself. Peterkin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist from South Carolina learned Gullah from her Black nursemaid, and she later married the heir to the plantation where this book and pictures were set. An absolutely magnificent book, in our opinion one of the high spots of American book production, and seldom encountered with both the slipcase and the loose print present.

One of the great documentary photobooks of the 1930's, examining the lives of black plantation workers in the Gullah coastal region of South Carolina. The idea for the book was originally conceived by American photographer Doris Ullman (1882-1934), who met Julia Peterkin at a literary gathering in 1929 - the same year Ullman had undertaken a project to create a volume of photographic studies of African Americans throughout the South. Ulmann's portraits of the Gullah people were taken on the Lang Syne plantation, owned by the family of Peterkin's husband; paired with text and stories written by Peterkin, Ullman's portraits of the former slaves and their descendants have long been praised for both their quality, and the sense of dignity they convey. Many times scarcer in an attractive jacket than the signed, limited issue, published the same year. BLOCKSON 3932; ROTH 101. PARR-BADGER, Vol.1, p.135.
