We’ve seen a million pictures of the Courthouse. I’ve posted a couple of thousand myself. The building has been photographed from photography’s fledgling days until this 2016 Christmas day. One shot after another, one decade after another, one photographer after another, but still… I have never seen the old clock in such fine perspective as in this Jim Hendrix work of art.
John Cofield is a HottyToddy.com writer and one of Oxford’s leading folk historians. He is the son of renowned university photographer, Jack Cofield. His grandfather, J.R. “Colonel” Cofield, was William Faulkner’s personal photographer and for decades was the Ole Miss yearbook photographer. Cofield attended Ole Miss as well.
Stay tuned for more information on Cofield’s forthcoming book: Oxford, Mississippi ~ The Cofield Collection — a pictorial history book with John’s writing on the history to go along with the photos.
