Workers: An Archaeology of the Industrial Age

Sebastião Salgado, Eric Nepomuceno

Phaidon, 1993 - Business & Economics - 399 pages

More than those of any living photographer, Sebastiao Salgado's images of the world's poor stand as icons of the human condition. His transforming photographs bestow dignity on the most isolated and neglected, from refugees in the famine-stricken Sahel, to the men who swarm the gold mines of Brazil. Now Saigado goes beyond icons to bring us a photographic revolution of such epic scope that it transcends mere image making.
