New York: Grove Press, Inc., 1959. First American edition, hardcover issue. Introduction by Jack Kerouac. It took Robert Frank two years to photograph the subjects in this book. Widely regarded as one of the most important photography books made, Frank's candid and often gritty images captured the complexities of American society in the 1950s, often offering a raw and unfiltered view of the country. His use of unconventional framing, focus, and composition helped redefine the medium of photography and influenced generations of photographers to come.
