Description:
New Haven CT: Yale University Press, 2004. reprint. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover, 208 pages. Between 1936 and 1941 Walker Evans and James Agee collaborated on one of the most provocative books in American literature, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941). While at work on this book, the two also conceived another less well-known but equally important book project entitled Many Are Called. This three-year photographic study of subway passengers made with a hidden camera was first published in 1966, with an introduction written by Agee in 1940. Long out of print, Many Are Called is now being reissued with a new foreword and afterword and with exquisitely reproduced images from newly prepared digital scans. Many Are Called came to fruition at a slow pace. In 1938, Walker Evans began surreptitiously photographing people on the New York City subway.

Description:
Boston and Cambridge, Houghton Mifflin Co. and The Riverside Press, 1966. . First edition; small 4to (215 x 174 mm, 8½ x 6¾ in); black and white photographs printed in halftone, foxing to preliminary pages and edges; black cloth-covered boards, spine and upper side stamped in white, black-and-white photo-illustrated dust-jacket, text in grey and white, worn and price-clipped, errata slip tipped in; [xiv], 178pp. Walker Evans produced this remarkable series of clandestine portraits of passengers on the New York City subway between 1938 and 1941. He caught his subjects off guard by strapping a 35mm Contax camera to his chest, with the lens protruding out between two buttons of his overcoat. He operated the shutter with a cable running down the length of his sleeve. He was initially accompanied by fellow photographer Helen Levitt, who acted as both companion and distractor when the need arose.

Description:
Evans writes to Henry James biographer Leon Edel in a two page Autograph Letter Signed on one 8vo sheet of "The Century Association" stationery, New York City, Feb. 9, 1966. In 1966, Evans' photographic study of New York City subway riders was published. "Many Are Called," (1938-41) was photographed with hidden camera, first published almost 30 a after the images were captured and reissued in 2004. He writes, "May I intrude upon your scholarship if it extends to Henry James senior. I want to use a quotation which F. O. Matthiessen gives partially on p. 13 of 'The James Family' and I have no idea where to find it. Matthiessen writes, 'probably James best-known remark is that "to a right-minded man" a crowded horse-car is "the nearest approach to heaven upon earth"...." Evans explains he seeks the exact quotation noting that, "F. O. M. does not give a hint of his source...knowing your erudition I do hope you may have in mind...do not take down any books yourself for my quest. I'll do that..." He signs…
