I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion on Saturday. Scholars and participant teachers provided an excellent learning atmosphere.
Could someone post a couple of pictures of Eudora Welty that would show the way she looked when she wrote One Writer's Beginnings, circa (around) 1983, and the period of time about which she narrates in the book? Such picture images could help students to avoid anachronistic thinking.

This is a weak answer to your serious question, but I took a look at the actual book, One Writer's Beginnings, and noticed a section in the middle with 17 photographs, five of which Miss Welty appears in 1910, c1913, c1917, 1929, 1936, & 1941. For classes I believe the individual book would be better than our photoless Library of America.
