’80s Russian Subway Map

Bruce Davidson’s Subway was originally published in 1986 and last August was given an update by Steidl. The book has been printed from new scans of the photographer’s Kodachrome slides and new images have been added. As a big fan of Davidson’s work, I was very excited to spend my cash on this book when it came out. The photographs transport you back to the time when it wasn’t a clever time to ride the subway in NYC. Davidson himself was mugged whilst making the book, loosing the camera he was working with.
Davidson says on the making of the book “I became addicted to the Subway. When I heard the rumble of the express train running serveral floors below our apartment, and felt the walls shake, my senses heightened, like a werewolf responding to the full moon”
Amtrak routes as subway lines!
From the same designer who brought us the brilliant U.S. Highway system as subway routes.
1 Train in the ’80s. Is this Bruce Davidson?
