From the publisher: 

The black-and-white photographs gathered here highlight ordinary moments in extraordinary historical circumstances, as well as less fraught images of city living. As Harbutt writes in his introduction to the volume: “There are pictures of men and boys, women and girls, statues, pensive monkeys, moments that took my breath away, scared me, made me smile.” He adds: “History belongs to all of us, not just kings and generals.” Departures and Arrivals records Harbutt’s half-century career at the forefront of American photography.
