American photographer Walker Evans, best known for his iconic images documenting the Great Depression, surreptitiously shot portraits of passengers in the New York subway between 1938 and 1941, riding with a camera concealed under his coat, fitted with a shutter release running inside his sleeve. In 1959, Evans assembled 16 of the images into "Subway Portrait," which in 1966, were exhibited at New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
