New Lost City Ramblers 1958 - 1959

"New Lost City Ramblers" is a 1958-1959 black and white photograph by Robert Frank that captures a moment of the American folk trio, the New Lost City Ramblers, performing in an urban setting. The photograph shows the band members, positioned against a brick wall, as they play their instruments, with the banjo player seated front and center, a fiddle player standing behind him and a guitar player visible behind him. This candid snapshot exemplifies Frank's signature style of capturing everyday life, often with an emphasis on social commentary.
