First published in France in French by Robert Delpire in 1958 and then the following year in the United States, "The Americans" by photographer Robert Frank (1924–2019) was reprinted by Steidl in 2008. A true classic in the history of photography, this volume—introduced by Jack Kerouac—features 83 photos selected from the 23,000 that Frank took during his year-and-a-half journey across the United States. More of an ode or a poem than a literal document, the book is as powerful and provocative today as it was fifty-six years ago.
In the 2013 documentary *Robert Frank: America Through the Lens*, directed by Laura Israël, he says: “When I look at the 83 photos I selected for the book, I feel that I’ve captured the essence.”
