Peru, page 17 1948

"Peru, page 17" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1948. It shows a street scene in Peru, with a group of people walking up a narrow, cobbled street. The composition is focused on the backs of the figures, capturing the anonymity of the crowd and the sense of everyday life in the city. The photo is part of Frank's iconic photobook "The Americans", which documents his observations of American society in the 1950s, including a trip through Latin America.
