Title: The Faulkner Reader
These anthologies, published in 1954 and 1963 respectively, depict the most obvious and essential detail of Cartier-Bresson's classic portrait of William Faulkner and two of his terriers, made at the writer's Oxford, Mississippi home in 1947.
I emphasize 'detail' because Cartier-Bresson was a photographic purist in the sense that he insited that his negatives be printed and reproduced in their entirety; cropping was permitted only when absolutely necessary.
If you click on the highlighted link below, you should not only see the complete Fulkner image, but a warning against cropping as well. Perhaps these rules were more flexible forty or fifty years ago. KB
