This photographic study, conducted from 1938 to 1941, captures New York City subway passengers with a concealed camera. Initially published in 1966 and reissued with new digital scans, it includes an introduction by Agee from 1940. Evans's hidden lens documented over six hundred portraits, presenting intimate glimpses of commuters lost in thought. This edition, released during the NYC subway's centenary, highlights Evans’s photographic mastery, Agee’s writing, and the enduring allure of New York City.
