Bemerkung:

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Text engl. und franz. - Théodore Fonville Winans was born in Mexico, Missouri, on August 22, 1911. His father's profession as a highway engineer and bridge builder probably explains Fonville's talents as a practical inventor with several patents to his credit. His mother certainly left him her gift for music. He became a fine saxophone player who earned his living as a professional before turning to photography. Fonville was twenty years old when he set out on his boat " The Pintail " at the beginning of the Great Depression to explore the little-known bayous of southern Louisiana. His photographs during this period cover almost every aspect of Cajun life and culture. ISBN 9782862340876
