Summary:

"Walker Evans' pictorial record of America in the thirties was first published in 1938 and revealed a new master of the camera who expressed the tragic sense and troubled conscience of those years. Reissued in response to many requests, it seems even more important now when the period out of which it arose can be seen in historical perspective."--Dust jacket.
