The life and works of Paul Laurence Dunbar; containing his complete poetical works, his best short stories, numerous anecdotes and a complete biography of the famous poet
This is a 1907 biography and collected works of the poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, compiled by Lida Keck Wiggins and published in Naperville, Illinois and Memphis, Tennessee, for a general reading public. The four photographs are plain, unposed documentary portraits and scenes from the early twentieth century: a bearded man standing before a weathered wooden cabin, a seated older woman in a dark dress and white apron, two men in a rough interior with hanging goods, and a figure walking through tall grass beside a fence and small building, with soft grey tones and natural daylight that suggest reportage a designer could reference for texture and period character.
