"Ever since it was first published in 1965, Helen Levitt's collection of photographs taken on the streets of 1940s New York City has been revered as a classic of its genre. Made in collaboration with writer James Agee, who provided the book's introduction, »A Way of Seeing« was published twice more with modifications during Levitt's lifetime. This volume seeks to provide a definitive edition of the book with oversight from Levitt's former assistant Marvin Hoshino, who has taken pains to include the best available prints and negatives of Levitt's images". -- Publisher.
