In 1938-1941 Evans photographed passengers in the New York subway. Using a 35mm camera hidden under his coat he captured the person opposite unobserved. Around 1961 Evans compiled an earlier unpublished version of "Many Are Called", which he called "The Passengers (Hidden Camera in the New York Subway)", much, if not all of this is reproduced within. Related groups of images made above ground, with Evans standing in a fixed position on sidewalks are also featured (Bridgeport, Chicago, Detroit). Photographically illustrated stiff wrappers (Very good, with light wear to edges, faint rubbing to delicate matte wrapper surface, spine uncreased. Tight and internally fine, hint of toning to edges). Includes the essay 'Many Are Called and Many Are Chosen: Walker Evans and the Anonymous Portrait' by Sarah Greenough. An appendix includes six short texts on the subway photographs written by Evans (5 drafts, one published). Exhibition checklist. [Reference: Roger Kingston, Walker Evans in Print: An Illustrated Bibliography, 1995, No. 88, p.24.] An excellent exhibition catalog with wonderfully reproduced warm toned photographs.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Philadelphia, J.B. Lippincott Company, 1933. (8.75 x 6 in, 22.5 x 15.3 cm). First edition, 3rd printing, curiously wearing a 2nd printing dust jacket (stated). 31 black and white "aquatone" (photogravure) photographs by Walker Evans made in May and June of 1933. Each plate numbered and titled on the opposing otherwise blank page. From Gilles Mora and John T. Hill's "Walker Evans: The Hungry Eye" (Abrams, 1993, p. 78) "The book, to be called 'The Crime of Cuba', was intended as a violent criticism of the North American capitalist interests that protected a regime of terror established on the island by the dictator Gerardo Machado. / Beals and Evans met only once. The only condition that the photographer insisted upon was the right to select the images to be published and their order of appearance. / Offered hospitality by Ernest Hemingway, Evans reacted with high enthusiasm to the experience of a totally new culture and visual environment. / The thirty-one photographs reproduced give only a limited view of the full reportage. With their human dimension, they counterbalance the strictly economic or historic character of the facts related by the author of the book, Carleton Beals. / In spite of his short stay in Cuba, the pictures contain the best of Walker Evans and constitute a seminal work." Original cloth covered boards with original printed and photographically illustrated dust jacket adhered to the covers and paste-down endpapers (topstain a bit dull, previous price and owner signature dated 1935 in ink on ffep. Internally clean and quite nice (beginning with the 8th photograph plate and through to the rear free endpaper the fore-edge of each page is lightly creased, effecting each full bleed image, but not so much as to distract the eye to a great degree. This issue increases to the last, that measuring 7mm in from the edge and 50mm in length). Original dust jacket compete and presentable (small .5cm circular loss to upper near fore-edge, a few short closed tears, minimal chipping at heel and crown, laminate loss and lifting in areas). Please note: the dust jacket is attached to the book covers and endpapers. [Reference: Roger Kingston, Walker Evans in Print: An Illustrated Bibliography, 1995, No. 5, p. 21.] Despite the lengthy list of faults, a handsome copy with the rather uncommon dust jacket.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine+. First Edition. First Printing of this tour de force of American photography and perennial classic of American journalism, a "highly experimental book, pushing the boundaries of the way documentary should treat the world." (Lionel Trilling, in the Kenyon Review, called it the "most important moral effort of our American generation.") Demy 8vo (205 x 144mm): [2],xvi,471,[1]pp, with 31 beautifully printed black & white full-page photographs by Walker Evans, "his only excursion into 'true' documentaryâ "among the finest ever made." (Parr & Badger) Publisher's black cloth, spine lettered in silver; illustrated dust jacket, priced $3.50. A Fine copy, tightly bound and clean throughout; Near Fine or better jacket, head and toe of spine panel rubbed, with short tear and crease to bottom of front panel. A fresh, honest copy with no restoration. Parr & Badger I, p.144. Roth (101 Books), p. 108-09. In July and August of 1936, Agee and Walker Evans traveled to the American South to research a story on sharecropping for Fortune magazine. Their assignment, according to Agee's Preface, was to produce a "photographic and verbal record of the daily living and environment of an average white family of tenant farmers." Throughout the book, "Agee writes with extraordinary moral passion and highly personal emotion. He considers the tenant families victims of a massive system of human injustice that is global in proportions. . . . In questioning his purposes, including the difficulty of ever really seeing into the heart of another, especially of those as different as the sharecroppers, Agee raises important questions about the aesthetic limitations of the literature of social consciousness that comprised a major genre in the 1930s and early 1940s. . . . The design of Let Us Now Praise Famous Men reflects the fierce independence and eccentricity of its youthful author. Book One consists of only three pages: a single page 'Preface' and two pages listing the 'Persons and Places' in the book. Book Two, over 400 pages in length, is divided into an elaborate 'Design,' including its own 'Preamble'; sections on tenant clothing, shelter, education, and work; an 'Intermission'; and other narrative, poetic, autobiographical and confessional passages. . . . The tour de force of this section, however, and perhaps of the book as a whole, is a short section on 'Overalls'. . . . In the 'delicate beauty' that the overalls take on with age and wear, Agee finds an appropriate image to represent the lives of the tenants as a whole." (Literary Encyclopedia) N. B.

[2],xvi,471pp, with 31 full-page plates from photographs. Octavo. Black cloth, spine lettered in silver. A couple spots of mild finger-soiling on the front free endsheet, otherwise a very good or better copy in very good dust jacket with flap price intact and a modest amount of sunning and slight fraying at crown and toe of the spine panel. First edition of this central work in the history of 20th century photo-documentary. After he graduated from Harvard, Agee was hired by Time Inc, and wrote for FORTUNE from 1932 to 1937. In 1936, on assignment for the magazine, Agee and Evans (who was then working with the FSA) traveled to southern Alabama where, for eight weeks, they documented via interview and photographs the Depression-era hardships of the daily lives of three families of sharecroppers. In the end, FORTUNE did not publish their article, largely due to Agee's resistance to FORTUNE's editors demands for substantial cuts. Harper & Brothers, who had contracted for book publication following its appearance in FORTUNE, backed out over similar issues. Agee and Evans developed the material further and it was accepted for publication in book form by Houghton Mifflin. The first (and for many years, only) printing consisted of 2416 copies, of which only 600 copies were sold before it was remaindered. It would take another two decades before Houghton Mifflin published another clothbound printing, with an expanded group of photographs. It is now a work considered "by many as the epitome of the genre . pushing the boundaries of the way in which documentary should treat the world" - Parr & Badger, THE PHOTOBOOK A HISTORY, volume one. In 2005, it was selected for publication in the Library of America. PARR & BADGER I:144.
