On Saturday and Sunday the street is empty. Georgie is alone. 1951

"On Saturday and Sunday the street is empty. Georgie is alone." is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1951. The image depicts a young boy, Georgie, standing alone in the middle of an empty street in New York City. This photograph, along with the rest of Frank's book *The Americans*, captured the social and economic realities of the United States in the mid-20th century. The use of a wide-angle lens emphasizes the emptiness of the street and the feeling of isolation of the boy in the center of the composition. The work is a poignant portrayal of urban life, loneliness, and childhood innocence. *The Americans* is regarded as one of the most important photographic books of the 20th century.
