Inside front cover--40 Fotos c. 1946

This is the inside cover of Robert Frank's photobook "The Americans," a collection of candid black and white photographs taken during a two-year road trip across America in 1955 and 1956. The blank page features a handwritten inscription by Frank, “40 Fotos” and his signature, “R. Frank”. The book was a critical and commercial success and is considered a seminal work of photojournalism and social documentary.
