Hardcover. Black cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine. Unpaginated. Mainly comprised of BW photographs. First published in France in 1958, then in the United States in 1959, Robert Frank's The Americans changed the course of twentieth-century photography. In 83 photographs, Frank looked beneath the surface of American life to reveal a people plagued by racism, ill-served by their politicians and rendered numb by a rapidly expanding culture of consumption. Yet he also found novel areas of beauty in simple, overlooked corners of American life. And it was not just Frank's subject matter--cars, jukeboxes and even the road itself that redefined the icons of America; it was also his seemingly intuitive, immediate, off-kilter style, as well as his method of brilliantly linking his photographs together thematically, conceptually, formally and linguistically, that made The Americans so innovative. -Website description. VG- overall light shelfewar to boards and corners, VG inside. Clean, tight, crisp corners and very little wear.

Erstausgabe
American first edition (per publisher's requisite statement "First Grove Press Edition" upon copyright page). [4], i-vi, [2], [83 leaves of b/w plates], [1]. Hardcover: H 19.25cm x L 21.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed and soiled with some toning and foxing; front panel chipped at top right with unfortunate long jagged tear with associated creasing ascending from bottom right to center left; shallow chipping at spine ends with nicks and other much lesser tears at panel edges; front flap retains publisher's original printed price "$7.50" at top right; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Black cloth with vibrant gilt stamping to spine. Text block's top edge well foxed with much lighter presence to fore-edge. Some toning to endpapers; past owner's personal bookplate affixed to front pastedown; scattered spots of light soiling at margins of interior leaves. Slight sag to text block but binding is firm. A very good copy in only a good dust jacket. Aided by his mentor Walker Evans, Swiss-born American photographer Robert Frank secured a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1955and 1956 with the goal of documenting the dichotomies of American society. Travelling nationally, usually via long road trips sometimes with his family and sometimes without, Frank visited all regions and almost all states including Savannah, Miami Beach, St. Petersburg, New Orleans (a Crescent City streetcar being the locale of famous photo illustrating the dj's front panel), Houston, Los Angeles, Reno, Salt Lake City, Butte, Detroit, Chicago, etc. Initially unable to secure an American publisher, Frank convinced Paris publisher Robert Delpire to issue the book in 1958 under the title "Les Amà ricains." Grove Press quickly followed with this first American edition in 1959 and its success led to prominent solo exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1961 and at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1962. Regarded as one the most significant works in the history of photography, THE AMERICANS was republished in 1969 and 2008.

Third edition. Oversize oblong format. Signed and inscriberd by the author / photographer Robert Frank to Harold Hayes, editor in chief of Esquire magazine from 1961 to 1973 having been handpicked by the magazineÕs founder, Arnold Gingrich, as his successor. Inscribed: ÒFor Harold and the New Life in California. Robert, July 23, 1984.Ó During HayesÕs editorship, the magazine kept pace with the tumultuous sixties with landmark articles, fiction, and essays by the likes of Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer, Gay Talese, Garry Wills, Michael Herr, William Burroughs, Jean Genet, Terry Southern, etc., and was a major influence on a generation of writers. In 1981, Hayes took over as editorial vice president of CBS magazines. He moved west in 1984 to become editor of California magazine, a position he held through 1987. Additionally, in 1984, Robert Frank was commissioned by Harold Hayes, editor of California magazine (a position he held through 1987) to photograph the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco. Near fine copy with a hint of edge wear and very minor bumping to the corners in a near fine dust jacket with the barest indication of age. A collection of 83 black & white photographs of mostly rural America from the 1950Õs by renowned photographer Robert Frank. From the opening of the introduction by Jack Kerouac: ÒThat crazy feeling in America when the sun is hot on the streets and music comes out of the jukebox or from a nearby funeral, thatÕs what Robert Frank has captured in tremendous photographs taken as he traveled on the road around practically forty-eight states in an old used car (on Guggenheim Fellowship) and with the agility, mystery, genius, sadness and strange secrecy of a shadow photographed scenes that have never been seen before on film.Ó.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: near fine. First Edition. Oblong small quarto, unpaginated. Mild foxing and a few pieces of non-staining tape on the verso of the dust jacket, reinforcing a few tiny closed tears, otherwise a remarkably fine copy of this foundational volume of 20th century photography, hardly ever found this nice.
