Hershey story 11 1956

"Hershey Story 11," a 1956 photograph by renowned American photographer Robert Frank (1924-2019), showcases a contact sheet of black and white images capturing scenes from a Hershey factory tour. The contact sheet format, typical for photographers in the mid-20th century, reveals the raw, unedited selection of frames and provides a glimpse into Frank's creative process. The images depict groups of people likely touring the factory, their faces often obscured, leaving the focus on the environment and atmosphere. This work exemplifies Frank's signature style of photojournalism, known for its candid and often unsettling portrayal of American society.
