He went back day after day, standing on sidewalks, knocking on doors, asking permission to photograph a face, a child, a room, a family. Through his skill, his extraordinary vision, and his deep respect for his subjects, Davidson's portrait of the people of East 100th Street is a powerful statement of the dignity and humanity that is in all people. Roth: Book of 101 Books. Despite flaws, a good solid copy of this now infamous Harlem photo essay. A seminal late twentieth century photography book. This landmark photographic study of East Harlem is considered by many to be Davidson's greatest work. Scarce.
