  1. That could be Paul Newmans father.

  2. I particularly like the photo at bottom right-rather haunting..

  3. There’s nine minutes of rare video footage of Leadbelly(who was in the Louisiana pen during this era)singing worksongs. Viewing these photos side-by-side with that is a powerful experience.

  4. Uh, the Leadbelly footage at Utube, of course.
