GREAT PHOTOBOOK, AN AMERICAN MASTERPIECE: 
Martin Parr, Gerry Badger, The Photobook A History, Volume 2, page 223

Signed by Wendy Ewald.
Signatures by this artist, especially of that title, are very scarce.
I GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE SIGNATURE. 

TRUE FIRST PRINTING from 1985 of that impressive photobook title (not to mix with the new edition which came out in 2020 by Mack Books).

Wonderful photographs and stories by children of the Appalachians.
When Wendy Ewald arrived in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains in 1975, she began a project that aimed to reveal the lives, intimate dreams and fears of local schoolchildren. 

Includes numerous black and white images, many of them self portraits, along with text and stories by children from this often ignored area of the United States. 

This is the LAST EXCLUSIVE BEST-OF-PHOTOBOOKS AUCTION by 5Uhr30.com, Cologne, Germany - BEFORE THE SUMMER BREAK.
We guarantee detailed and accurate descriptions, 100% transport protection, 100% transport insurance and of course combined shipping - worldwide.

Writers and Readers Publishing, New York. 1985. First edition, first printing. 

Paperback. 178 x 255 mm. 123 pages. 97 black and white photos. Photos by Wendy Ewald and her students. Introduction: Robert Coles. Preface: Wendy Ewald. Afterword by Ben Lifson. Text in English.

Condition:

Great photobook - signed by the artist.

"Tasked with finding authentic ways of representing the lives of these children, she gave each of them a camera and interviewed them about their childhood in the mountains. Through these intriguing transcripts and photographs, we discover the lives of families as seen through the eyes of their children: where domestic, rural life is understood with startling openness and depth. In Portraits and Dreams, life’s most mysterious realities – love, loss, violence, death, new life – are given voice through an altogether novel discovery: the camera. We learn the eloquence and originality with which children see the world and we see a generous new way of engaging children in the possibilities of the photographic medium. "
(Mack Books)
