Richard Avedon spent six years shooting this series, visiting 189 towns in 17 states. He posed all his subjects, who included coal miners, drifters, cashiers, waitresses and prisoners, in front of the same plain white backdrop and the resultant black and white portraits are striking, richly detailed and deeply sympathetic.
