T. A. Frail presents “Eudora Welty as photographer” in this month’s Smithsonian Magazine.
The pictures, made in Mississippi in the early to mid-1930s, show the rural poor and convey the want and worry of the Great Depression. But more than that, they show the photographer's wide-ranging curiosity and unstinting empathy—which would mark her work as a writer, too. – T. A. Frail, Smithsonian Magazine
