Description
"The delights of vernacular imagery are more openly acknowledged now than they have been in the past. We see, and enjoy, many projects showing the simplicity of purpose that is the hallmark of this genre. At its best, vernacular photography is quite compelling and is often woven into shows and authored photography. However, even though I am well used to vernacular photography, nothing has stopped me in my tracks more than when I was first introduced to a set of images, collected by Titus Riedl, while I was attending a Latin American photo forum in São Paulo in October 2007"--From introduction by Martin Parr.

    Jack London notebook

    Manuscripts

    Although this was originally Jack London's high school geometry notebook, London used it as a scrapbook after the original use. Most of the notebook pages have bits of paper glued onto them with quotes, lists of names (surnames, female names, male names, etc.), as well as lists of words in their vernacular such as "White Southern Vernacular," "Low Irish Vernacular," "California Spanish Vernacular," etc. Most of that material is typewritten but there is also handwritten material by London in the notebook. There are still several pages with mathematical equations in London's hand. Handwritten on the cover: "Jack London - Geometry" and "A.U.A.-'96."
