Streetcar lines, Milan 1945

"Streetcar Lines, Milan" is a 1945 photograph by Robert Frank, capturing the stark aftermath of World War II. The image depicts a street in Milan, Italy, with a building facade torn apart by bombing, revealing a skeletal structure. The photograph's stark black-and-white composition emphasizes the desolation of the scene, with a few figures walking past the rubble, symbolizing the resilience of human life amidst destruction. Frank's photo serves as a poignant reminder of the war's impact on civilian life and the enduring legacy of destruction.
