Hardcover edition. First edition, first printing. Signed by Siskind. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: fine. A great copy in mint condition, DJ also, protected in mylar cover (mylar has tape on the front, not the DJ). A portrait of the people, culture, and lifestyles of Harlem during the 1930s by Aaron Siskind, who was a member of the Photo League, . Fifty-two black and white photos, certainly show the community struggling during the Depression years. Includes perhaps the most well known photo from this period of Siskind's work: the two dancers in flamboyant action at the Savoy Ballroom in 1937. What gives this book extra values though are the stories from eight individuals based on oral interviews collected by the Federal Writers Project during the thirties. Selected by Horacio Fernandez in "New York In Photobooks".
