It was published by Caldecot Chubb in New York in an edition of only five, and has since become Eggleston’s rarest collectible book. This new Steidl edition recreates the full original sequence of photos in a single volume, making it available to the wider public for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eElection Eve\u003c\/em\u003e contains images made in October 1976 during Eggleston’s pilgrimage from Memphis to the small town of Plains, Georgia, the home of Jimmy Carter who in November 1976 was elected 39th President of the United States. Eggleston began photographing even before he left Memphis and depicted the surrounding countryside and villages of Sumter County, before he reached Plains. His photos of lonesome roads, train tracks, cars, gas stations and houses are mostly empty of people and form an intuitive, unsettling portrait of Plains, starkly different to the idealized image of it subsequently promoted by the media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eBinding: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFour-color process\u003cbr\u003eHardback \/ Half-linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eContent:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e212 pages, 100 images\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003e33 x 25 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"861\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN 978-3-95829-266-6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52369702682965,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/0849\/1861\/files\/WILLIAM_EGGLESTON_ELECTION_EVE_STEIDL_BOOK_PARADIS_Digital_Superstore_1copie.jpg?v=1769610435","url":"https:\/\/paradis.digital\/products\/william-eggleston-election-eve","provider":"Paradis Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
