Original Disfarmer Photographs is a collection of photographs by American photographer Mike Disfarmer. His real name was Mike Meyer. Meyer changed his surname to "Disfamer" to break away from his family's roots in agriculture. He ran a photo studio in the rural town of Heber Springs, Arkansas, and was a commercial photographer who mainly took portraits of local families in the 1930s and 1940s. He passed away in 1959 without making a name for himself during his lifetime, but 4,200 negatives were discovered more than 10 years after his death. Many of the photographs were of cotton farming families, but the records that faithfully represented the historical facts of the era and the artistic quality that clearly portrayed the humanity of the subjects were highly praised, and exhibitions have been held worldwide since then. This book is a collection of works published on the occasion of an exhibition held in New York in 2005, and was co-published by Steven Kasher Gallery in New York, where the exhibition was held, and Steidl. It contains 219 illustrations printed in the same size as the original prints.
