Wales, Ben James 1953

"Wales" is a 1953 black and white photograph by Robert Frank. It depicts a solitary figure walking on a dirt path in a desolate landscape. The subject is a man in a coat and hat, walking away from the viewer. The photo is part of Frank's iconic book, "The Americans," which captured the essence of American life in the 1950s. The composition and the starkness of the image are characteristic of Frank's style, often seen as a critique of American society and its social injustices. The photo is an important example of the photojournalism of the period, and it's still resonating with audiences today.
