Walker Evans collaborated with the writer James Agee on a book which may have contributed more to the making of the New Deal than any other book ever written, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men."-
There follow six photographs by Walker Evans taken in these United States, between 1931 and 1936. It was the time of America's Great Depression, a time still within the living memory of many of our grandparents. And a time still indelibly imprinted in the minds of many Americans by Walker Evans' black-and-white photographs.
