"Embarkation--New York City II" is a contact sheet of photographs taken by Robert Frank in 1955, depicting the hustle and bustle of people boarding a ship in New York City. The contact sheet, a common tool used by photographers, shows the individual frames as they appear on the film negative. This piece represents Frank's iconic "The Americans" project, a photobook that captured the social and cultural landscape of the United States during the 1950s.
