Hardcover with dust jacket. Text by Elizabeth McCausland.

"Changing New York is clearly inspired by Abbott's understanding of Atget. Her theme is one firmly in the Atget mould - the constant regeneration and renewal of the modern city, the old squeezed out by the new, the small trader squeezed out by big business. She demonstrates that she has absorbed the iconography of Atget and Evans, the shopfronts and signs, the street traders and furniture, the contrast between ancient and modern. ... Nevertheless, this is both a comprehensive and a personal view of New York in the 1930s when, despite the Depression, some of the most enduring twentieth-century monuments were being developed, and old neighbourhoods cleared away for the new skyscrapers." (Parr/Badger, The Photobook I)
