XIII, [5], 248pp. Original photographic wrappers over cloth with silver lettering on spine and blind-stamped printer's device on front cover.

Leo Frank, a Northern Jewish industrialist, was convicted of murdering a thirteen-year-old working girl. The crime channeled the fears and frustrations of the people in Atlanta, themselves the victims of the Southern industrial transformation, and Frank emerged as the focal point for the resentments engendered by a fledgling industrial society. This work is illustrated with several b/w photographic reproductions. Moderate rubbing along edges of wrappers. Price clipped on front flap. Wraps in overall good+, binding and interior in very good condition.
