Guggenheim 12--funeral, Carolinas 1955

"Guggenheim 12--funeral, Carolinas" is a photo-contact sheet by Robert Frank, taken in 1955. The image, printed in black and white, displays five strips of film, with a red border highlight surrounding the third strip. The strips capture the moment of a funeral procession, offering glimpses of the attendees and the surrounding rural landscape, in a sequence of candid snapshots. This work is part of Frank's iconic book "The Americans" which documents his travels across the United States, capturing everyday life in the 1950s and exploring social issues like racial inequality and the American Dream.
