Peru, page 29 1948

"Peru, page 29" is a black and white photograph taken in 1948 by Robert Frank. It depicts a group of Peruvian women standing in a field, with the Andes Mountains in the background. Frank is best known for his book "The Americans" (1959), which is considered one of the most important photo books of the 20th century. The photograph, with its candid and unstaged nature, exemplifies Frank's approach to capturing the everyday lives of ordinary people. The women, with their traditional clothing and stoic expressions, evoke a sense of timeless dignity and resilience. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of rural Peruvians in the mid-20th century.
