Georges Forss was born in the South Bronx. He lives in Brooklyn where he cares for an invalid mother and others of his family by selling photographs of New York on the sidewalk. His father was a thief. Forss and all of his five brothers and sisters were reared in welfare homes. Some of his best lenses and cameras were found in pawnshops. This is the first book of his photographs, which has been printed by Imprimeries Réunies of Lausanne, Switzerland, one of the finest presses in the World.
