"Cotton Harvesters--Between Houston and San Antonio, Texas" (1955) is a photo by Robert Frank, a Swiss-American photographer, known for his candid, documentary style. The black and white photograph portrays a group of individuals, likely migrant workers, harvesting cotton in the Texan fields. The image captures a raw and honest glimpse into the lives of those who worked the land, showcasing the harsh realities of labor and the socioeconomic disparities prevalent in the American South during the mid-20th century.
