This photograph of musician Sam Ballard is one

of 400 snapshot images made in the course of

sound recording expeditions carried out by John

Avery Lomax, his wife, Ruby Terrill Lomax, and

their son, Alan Lomax between 1934 and 1950

for the Archive of American Folk-Song. The

photographs comprise the Lomax Collection in

the Library of Congress, which depicts African

American, Mexican American, and white

musicians, singers and dancers, primarily in the

southern United States (Alabama, Arkansas,

Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi,

North Carolina, Texas, and Virginia) and the

Bahamas (Nassau, Andros Island, and Cat

Island). In addition to posed portraits, images

in the Collection show musicians performing in

various settings: at home, in concert, and while

performing prison labor outdoors.

With their recording expeditions, the Lomaxes

were instrumental (no pun intended—really!)

in preserving American folk music and blues

traditions.
