"Subway (First Edition)" is a photobook by Bruce Davidson, one of America's leading photographers. Davidson, one of the early members of Magnum Photos, is a master photographer who continues to publish works energetically to this day. This book, published in 1986, is a masterpiece that continues to be reprinted in revised editions, and consists of color illustrations taken in the New York subway in the early 1980s. The subway is a human zoo that has been the subject of works by Walker Evans, Hellen Levitt, and even Nobuyoshi Araki. The New York subway, in particular, is a world of terror that even locals feared to approach, although it is now safe enough for tourists to use with ease. I admire Davidson's achievement as a journalist, for stepping into such a hellish place, respecting his subjects, and taking such intimate photographs that capture the unknown underbelly of New York. The number of illustrations and editing differ from the current revised edition, and this first edition, full of youthful energy and more dynamic, is also highly recommended.
