"As in the first edition, my goal for this second edition has been to produce a text that resembles, as closely as possible, the original 1890 edition... The only substantive change is the inclusion of the full-frame contact prints from the Jacob A. Riis Collection of the Museum of the City of New York that were made by the Chicago Albumen Works in 1994."--P. xi
