Bruce Davidson regularly visited East Harlem with a view camera and tripod with which he photographed the residents of a city block on East 100th Street between First and Second Avenues in New York. Davidson chose this block because, at the time, it had a reputation as being one of the worst in the city.

In 1966, and for nearly two years after, Bruce Davidson regularly visited East Harlem with a view camera and tripod with which he photographed the residents of a city block on East 100th Street between First and Second Avenues in New York. Davidson chose this block because, at the time, it had a reputation as being one of the worst in the city. He always asked permission to take a photograph, and each time he returned, he would bring prints with him to give to his subjects; this led to his acceptance within the community's daily life.

First edition; 4to (305 x 278 mm, 12 x 11 in); black & white photographs printed in offset by Case-Hoyt; plain endpapers, natural cloth-covered boards, titles stamped in brown on spine, photographic reproduction mounted on upper side, lightly marked, printed acetate dust-jacket, slightly shrunken, lightly rubbed with a very small chip to bottom corner, a near-fine copy; [132]pp.

The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photography Books of the Twentieth Century pp196-7; The Open Book pp160-1; The Photobook: A History II, p18; New York in Photobooks pp142-7.
