"Guggenheim 371/Americans 35--U.S. 66, between Winslow and Flagstaff, Arizona," a 1955 contact sheet by Robert Frank, documents a moment along Route 66. The sheet showcases a series of eight frames captured on a single roll of film, depicting a scene of a highway accident with people gathering around a damaged vehicle. Frank’s "The Americans" project, a collection of black and white photographs taken in the United States during the 1950s, offered an intimate glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans, capturing the complexities of American society, its social issues, and its landscape.
