Hats, convention hall--Chicago 1956

"Hats, convention hall--Chicago" is a photograph by Robert Frank taken in 1956. The image captures two hats resting on a counter top, both with the name "Evenso" written on them. One hat is white and the other black. The image also depicts the side of a room, a "No Tipping" sign, and a glimpse of coat hangers in the background. This image is a part of Frank's acclaimed photobook, *The Americans*, which documented his travels across the United States. The book is known for its gritty realism and candid portrayal of American life. Frank's work often focused on everyday people and the social conditions of the time. *The Americans* was a major influence on subsequent generations of photographers, and is considered one of the most important photobooks of the 20th century.
