From the library of the artists Ben Shahn and Bernarda Bryson Shahn, with an estate label designed by their son, Jonathan Shahn. Ownership signature of Louise Rosskam. Delano, Ben Shahn, and Edward Rosskam were all FSA photographers. According to the text, after his FSA and military service, Delano was encouraged to come to Puerto Rico by Ed and Louise Rosskam, which he did when he recieved only the second Guggenheim Fellowship in photography (the first had gone to Edward Weston) and where he remained for most of the rest of his life. Presumably Bernarda Shahn got this book from her close friends and neighbors the Rosskams.
