An American Exodus.

First edition with photo-illustrated 1st issue dust jacket (with rear panel showing list of books including „Mein Kampf‟). “Of all the photobooks stemming from the New Deal, and the FSA in particular, An American Exodus. . . is the most considered. Not only does it have the closest integration of text and image, but the whole book was compiled with scrupulous attention to the presentation of facts, without either hyperbole or undue rhetoric on the part of photographer or writer (…) the most balanced of New Deal documentary books, and therefore a model for the genre.”. Cf. Parr & Badger, vol. I ; Roth and The Open Book.
