Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Carroll Walker (illustratore). Presumed First Edition, First printing. 237, [3] pages. Slight DJ wear. Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs. Maps. Carroll Walker, one of Norfolk?s most prolific twentieth century photographers, was a longtime resident of the city who loved photography and history. He collected historical photographic images of Norfolk and the region. After retiring from the Norfolk & Western Railroad, he became a professional photographer. Walker published Norfolk: A Pictorial History (1975) and Norfolk: Its Tercentennial History (1981), which incorporated both his own photographs and those he collected. Carroll Herbert Walker was born in 1904 and was raised in Norfolk, Virginia. Walker joined the Norfolk and Western (now Norfolk Southern) Railroad as a sales representative and would remain with the railroad company for 38 years. Now with steady employment, Walker indulged his passion for history and photography. He began to collect photographs relating to Norfolk and the surrounding Tidewater region and especially idolized Harry C. Mann and Mann?s photographs of Norfolk from the turn of the century. Walker used many of Mann?s images in his own publications. Walker began his professional career as a photographer in Norfolk by taking family pictures and also photographs of places around the city. His passion for history led him to join Civil War reenactment groups and even gave him the rare opportunity of photographing the last reunion of Confederate veterans in Norfolk. Walker continued to pursue photography and local history after his retirement from the Railroad. He regularly photographed events around the Norfolk area. After his death, Walker?s entire photographic collection, containing his own photographs in addition to images taken by Harry Mann and other Norfolk photographers, was given to the Sargeant Memorial Room of the Norfolk Public Library. This unique visual record of the development of the city of Norfolk captures the texture and flavor of the people and places involved in the years of transition. Photographs from private collections and public archives, many never before published, guide the reader on a journey through the centuries.
