Bruce Davidson: First edition of East 100th Street

"'What you call a ghetto, I call my home.' This was said to me when I first came to East Harlem, and during the two years that I photographed people of East 100^th Street, it stayed with me….I entered a life style, and, like the people who live on the block, I love and hate it and I keep going back.”

–Bruce Davidson

DAVIDSON, Bruce. East 100^th Street. Cambridge, Ma.: Harvard University, 1970. Large quarto, stiff pictorial wraps. $1000.

“Without preconceptions or a carefully constructed world-view, Bruce Davidson recognizes authenticity. He penetrates the situations to which he is drawn, and in doing so, is compassionate.” - Henry Geldzahler (1935-1994), Curator of Twentieth Century Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art
