Description: "Mary Ellen Mark first published her portrait of the prostitutes on Bombay's Falkland Road in 1981. This new edition includes previously unpublished photographs along with a new afterword by Mark." "In 1978, Mary Ellen Mark convinced Geo magazine to send her on assignment to Falkland Road. During her three-month stay, she was able to earn the trust and acceptance of its people: prostitutes, madams, children, and customers." "For this expanded edition the Marianne Boesky Gallery and the Yancey Richardson Gallery, both in New York City, will mount an exhibition of Cibachrome prints. A special edition of dye-transfer prints will be exhibited at the Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles."--Book jacket.
