- Scope and content:
-
Series houses 43 11x14 and 1 9x12 inch black-and-white portraits of individuals taken by photographer Jesse Pyrant Andrews in Virginia and North Carolina, with a few from Tennessee and California. Portrait subjects include men and women, teenagers, and fathers and mothers with their sons, friends of Andrews, musicians, small business owners, and farmers, chiefly from rural areas and small towns in the Piedmont of southern Virginia and northern North Carolina.
Andrews conducted oral history interviews with some of these individuals; the recordings are accessible through digital audio files and are available upon advance request.
A selection of photographs from this series has been digitized and is featured on the Duke Digital Collections website.
As portraiture is one of the photographer's favored formats, additional portraits - sometimes of the same people in this series - are found in other series.
- Processing information:
-
Photographs are arranged in order as received. Original titles, captions, and negative identifiers as assigned by the photographer have been retained. Each print has also been assigned an institutional identifier.
