Description: Roll, Jordan, Roll. Peterkin, Julia. Photographic studies by Doris Ulmann. NY: Robert O. Ballou, 1933. First Trade Edition. Hardcover, 251 pages, 70 b&w photos. “Ulmann’s photographic collaboration with Julia Peterkin… focuses on the lives of former slaves and their descendants on a plantation in the Gullah coastal region of South Carolina… Peterkin, a popular novelist who won the Pulitzer Prize in 1929, was born in South Carolina and raised by a black nursemaid who taught her the Gullah dialect before she learned standard English. She married the heir to Lang Syne, one of the state’s richest plantations, which became the setting for Roll, Jordan, Roll… Ulmann’s soft-focus photos—rendered as tactile as charcoal drawings in the superb gravure reproductions here—straddle Pictorialism and Modernism even as they appear to dissolve into memory”. Not common.
