New York City, 1955

Elliott Erwitt has spent a lifetime documenting the United States and his work now stands as a testament to what it means to be American. From grandstanding politicians and celebrity culture to cinematic vistas, Erwitt’s vision of the nation manages to be both unique in perspective and universal in influence. Here, he photographs a view of Third Avenue, New York from the back of a subway car in 1955.
