Photographs depict Faulkner's world

You're looking at a nice black-and-white photograph of the Square. Then you notice that everyone seems to be driving a Packard around a courthouse that looks smaller than it should. A farmer's market is set up on the courthouse lawn. There's a recreation center where Uncle Buck's should be, and a grocery store in place of Ajax. And where the heck is Square Books?

Welcome to Faulkner's World.

Special to The Daily Mississippian

The Oxford Square, circa 1950, is just one of many photographs of Oxford taken from 1949 until 1951 by photographer Phil Mullen. The photographs are currently on display at the University Museums.
