Falkland Road is a notorious street in Bombay lined with old wooden buildings which teem with prostitutes hanging out of the windows, in the viewing cages on the ground floor, and on the steps. From sunrise to sunset the customers pass down the street to survey the girls. Mary Ellen Mark's extraordinary portrait of Falkland Road was first published by Knopf in 1981 and in the same year by Filipacchi in France (This copy).
