Three sets of an exhibition of photographs of William Faulkner and his world taken by Martin J. Dain are traveling to a variety of sites, thanks to grants from the Mississippi Humanities Council, the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Southern Arts Federation, and the University of Mississippi Sesquicentennial Committee. Taken between 1961 and 1963, Dain's photographs portray Faulkner at home as well as provide a comprehensive look at the people and cultural traditions that provided inspiration for his fictional Yoknapatawpha County.

The MHC-funded exhibition opened at the University Museums during the Faulkner and Yoknapatawpha Conference in late July and will travel the state for two years. A second exhibition, which opened in New Albany, Mississippi, during the town's celebration of William Faulkner's birth there, is traveling in the 13-state ARC region. The Southern Arts Federation is coordinating the Dain exhibition in other states within and outside the South. Included in the exhibition are 40 16" x 20" black and white photographs, presented in 24" x 30" frames. The approximate size of the exhibit is 130 running feet. The photographs are accompanied by interpretive text, and a book of Dain photographs published by the Center and the University Press of Mississippi is available in conjunction with the exhibit.
