yours:/Joel Chandler Harris". Sepia, 4¼x6½ overall, image 4x5¾ (two surfaces). Photographer's

St./Atlanta/GA." In the 1880s, Harris, a former journalist for Georgia newspapers, became one
of the first American writers to use original dialects in his stories rooted in Black folklore. His
lead character was Uncle Remus, a servant who entertains the young son of his master
with tales of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear, animals with distinctly human
qualities. His books, which are credited with preserving the African-American heritage of the
old South, include Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings (1880), Nights with Uncle
Remus (1883) and Uncle Remus and Brer Rabbit (1906). Fragile condition. The photo had
split, touching the "d" in Chandler. It is repaired by conservator's tape on verso. Stained on
verso. Upper corners chipped, edges worn. Pencil notes on verso (unknown hand).
