William Gedney & The Cornetts

In 1964, William Gedney visited Willie Cornett and his family of twelve, at their home in Kentuckey. Gedney photographed the family for eleven days and agreed to share a portion of profits made by the photos. Gedney and Cornett stayed in contact over the years as the children grew. ©William Gedney / Duke University Rare Book, Manuscript, and Special Collections Library
