the americans by robert frank

it is possible that i'm just the last person on earth to know about this book, but just in case you didn't already know...

the americans by robert frank is pretty amazing.

if you're in to kerouac (daddio)... he happened to write the introduction. i don't personally give a fig about kerouac but the photographs in this book are mind-blowing.


it was published originally in france in 1958 and then in the u.s. in 1959.

the library has an edition from the 1990s for free.

if you want to know about the new edition, you can read about it at powells.
