Election day--Switzerland 6 1949

Robert Frank's "Election day--Switzerland 6" (1949) is a contact sheet from his iconic photobook "The Americans", which documented the social landscape of the United States in the late 1950s. This contact sheet shows a series of black and white photographs of a political event in Switzerland. The images capture the energy and excitement of the event as crowds gather, speeches are made, and people interact. Frank's use of candid photography captures the genuine and unguarded moments of this political gathering.
