Catalogue Note: William Edwin Booth (1908-1995) was an important Richmond, VA photographer who eventually gained national critical recognition, publishing photos in major publications such as the "Saturday Evening Post" and "Life" magazine. He is also created with a founding role in the Richmond Camera Club, an organization that continues to thrive to this day. A regular contributor to Richmond newspapers, Booth captured several iconic images of the city and its residents in the second and third quarters of the 20th century. Additionally, in the 1930's, Booth took many trips to the countryside west of Richmond to visit family in Goochland Co., where he soon began photographing the landscape and the people, many of his subjects former slaves, then in old age. He would then manipulate the image during the developing process, creating an artistic effect to his prints that was innovative for its time. The present lot is just such a example of Booth's artistry. Indeed, unlike many of his contemporaries who worked during the Depression photographing America's rural poor, Booth's image is ennobling and focuses on the subject and his character rather than the likely difficult conditions of poverty around him.Excellent condition. One edge of backing board possibly trimmed slightly.Condition
