Excellent example of the fragile dust jacket: the front panel illustrated with black and white photographic portrait of Lead Belly is remarkably clean and bright with no fading to the orange. Despite these small defects an incredible copy. First Edition. Quarto.

Lead Belly and the Lomaxes collaborated on the book in the mid-1930's.
