Photograph Title Title of photograph Negroes' Church, South Carolina 1936 Book Genre Novel Photo Genre Genre of Photograph Documentary Group Photographer Group FSA Photographer Photographer Evans, Walker Designer Designer of book cover Ferguson, Archie Notes Notes associated with the item For the cover of this Knopf edition of Ernest J. Gaines' classic novel about prejudice and racial injustice in the South, designer Archie Ferguson has chosen a rather generic, if elegant, visual metaphor for book content in one of Walker Evans' FSA photographs of Negro churches. Compare this to the somewhat heavy-handed symbolism of Doris Ulmann's 'Bell Ringer 1930' (also made in South Carolina) on the Vintage paperback edition. I have placed this particular image of Evans' in the 'Multiple Uses' category, indicating that it may be found on more than one book cover. In truth, however, the picture on Albert J. Raboteau's Slave Religion is probably from another negative, made within an hour or so of this one, while Evans' camera was still on its tripod. Although the framing in each is identical, the shadow on this variant is less steep, indicating that the sun was a bit lower in the sky. There is also a subtle change in the cloud formation. Evans routinely made more than one negative of a subject. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
