Bruce Davidson: East 100th Street

For two years in the 1960s, Bruce Davidson photographed the people living on one city block in East Harlem, New York, using a large-format view camera. This iconic book of modern photography features photographs and statements by Davidson, who spent his time standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, and asking permission to photograph the faces, children, and families of East 100th Street. The work is a powerful statement of the dignity and humanity of the inhabitants, capturing the essence of the neighborhood during a significant period of social change. The publication features 124 full-page black and white plates, reflecting Davidson's deep respect and extraordinary vision for his subjects.
