A 75th-anniversary facsimile edition of one of the most significant photobooks ever published

More than any other artist, Walker Evans invented the images of essential America that we have long since accepted as fact, and his work has influenced not only modern photography but also literature, film and visual arts in other mediums. The original edition of American Photographs was a carefully prepared letterpress production, published by The Museum of Modern Art in 1938 to accompany an exhibition of photographs by Evans that captured scenes of America in the early 1930s. As noted on the jacket of the first edition, Evans, "photographing in New England or Louisiana, watching a Cuban political funeral or a Mississippi flood, working cautiously so as to disturb nothing in the normal atmosphere of the average place, can be considered a kind of disembodied, burrowing eye, a conspirator against time and its hammers." This seventy-fifth anniversary edition of American Photographs, made with new reproductions, recreates the original 1938 edition as closely as possible to make the landmark publication available for a new generation. American Photographs has fallen out of print for long periods of time since it was first published, and even subsequent editions--two of which altered the design and typography of the book in small but significant ways--are often available only at libraries and rare bookstores. This version, like the fiftieth-anniversary edition produced by the Museum in 1988, captures the look and feel of the very first edition with the aid of new digital technologies.

Walker Evans (1903-1975) took up photography upon his return to New York in 1927, following a year in Paris when his aspiration to become a writer withered in the shadow of Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Joyce. In 1935, Evans was commissioned by the Farm Security Administration to photograph the effects of the Great Depression in the Southeast. During this time he took many of the photographs that appeared in his collaboration with James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941), a book which has become a defining document of that era. Evans joined the staff of Time magazine in 1945 and shortly thereafter became an editor at Fortune, where he stayed for the next two decades. In 1964, he became a professor at the Yale University School of Art, where he taught until his death in 1975.

The Ultimate Command Center for My Workbench
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
I finally ditched the old, flimsy power strip on my workbench and mounted this DEPOW 28-in-1 Surge Protector on the wall behind it. Honestly? It was the best move I’ve made for my workspace in years. Here is why this thing is a beast for anyone with a hobby or work bench: Insane Outlet Capacity: With 22 AC outlets, I no longer have to play "musical chairs" with my power tools. I can keep my chargers and bench tools plugged in simultaneously without running out of room. The Modern Tech Solution: It feels like every new gadget uses USB-A or USB-C these days. Having 6 dedicated USB ports (including 3 USB-C) built right in means I can charge my phone, tablets, and lights without using up my precious AC space with bulky "bricks." Pro Mounting & Design: Mounting it on the wall cleared up so much clutter on the bench surface. The 6.5ft flat plug cord made it easy to reach the wall outlet even with the bench pushed flush against it. Peace of Mind: With 2100 Joules of surge protection, I don’t have to worry about my expensive electronics or power tools getting fried during a storm. The Bottom Line: This isn't just an extension cord; it’s a full-on power hub. If you have a mix of high-power tools and modern USB-charged gear, "this baby" truly does it all. Highly recommended for gamers, DIYers, or anyone with a home office!

Fantastic power strip with tons of outlets!
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
This surge protector power strip is amazing! With 22 AC outlets and 6 USB ports including USB-C, it's incredibly versatile for all my devices. The flat plug makes it easy to fit behind furniture and the 6.5-foot cord gives plenty of reach. The 1875W capacity handles everything with ease!

22 outlets. Super easy to use. Extremely happy with purchase.
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
22 outlets! I had 2 battery backups but, after 5 years, the battery died and could not be easily replaced. I moved all my plugs to one, easy to use strip. Lots of room for block plugs. Generous room between outlets. 3 USB C and 3 USB A outlets mean I can plug in chargers for my devices. Extremely happy with my purchase. Great company. Lots of choices from DEPOW but this one allowed me to plug in all my block plugs without covering other plugs. Great color. Extremely well made. Will purchase again. Generous 6.5 foot cord. My others had short 3 foot cords which barely reached.
