This unprecedented volume bring together for the first time Evans's photographs from the archive that contains more of his images than any other in the world. Shown here in remarkable duotone reproductions are icons of twentieth-century photography, such as Evans's pictures of tenant farmers and their families taken in the 1930s, but also many less well known, such as those he took in the 1940s of the Ringling Brothers circus and many previously unpublished images.
