FIRST EDITION OF THIS LANDMARK WORK; "One of the most important photobooks ever published, 'How the Other Half Lives' represents the first extensive use of halftone photographic reproductions in a book. It is the beginning, not of a photographic genre, but a photographic attitude, an ethos - humanist documentary photography - in which the photographic social document is employed to bear critical witness to what is going on in the world." Parr & Badger, The Photobook p.53.
