Book Synopsis
When, in 1907, Alfred Stieglitz took a simple picture of passengers on a ship bound for Europe, he could not have known that The Steerage, as it was soon called, would become a modernist icon and, from today's vantage, arguably the most famous photograph made by an American photographer. This title reassesses this important picture.
