In Transit
Every day, across the world, many thousands travel to work and play via trains above or below ground. Who are these people? What are their lives like? What are they listening to or reading? In Transit is a collection of illustrations featuring rail commuters in Washington, DC, New York, and Paris. Each drawing is captioned with a story: some are the author's speculations of what people are thinking; others are drawn from overheard conversations. Lively, fun, and sometimes touching. Hardcover, 19 color illustrations, 42 pages. In English with French translation.

Washington DC Metro
