Peru, page 27 1948

"Peru, page 27" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1948 during his travels through Latin America. The image captures a stark contrast between a large group of uniformed men standing at attention in the distance and two young boys seated in the foreground, their faces turned toward the viewer. Frank's work is known for its candid and often unsettling portrayal of social realities, and this photograph exemplifies his ability to capture moments of both power and vulnerability in a single frame. "Peru, page 27" is a striking example of street photography, capturing a snapshot of everyday life in Peru during a time of social and political change.
