Walker Evans' Yorkville in 1930s & 1940s

Walker Evans @ Met Collection
Angela, curator of the terrific Italian Harlem blog, thank you again for leading me to the Met's collection of Walker Evans photos online. 


Evans lived at 441 East 92nd Street for many years. Here are three photos he took on or about York Avenue and 92nd Street in the late 1930s and 1940s.  


Visit the Met link above to view this historic collection.
