Fourth of July--Coney Island 3 4 - 1958

This is a contact sheet of photographs taken by Robert Frank on July 4th, 1958, at Coney Island. The contact sheet shows a series of images of people on the beach and boardwalk, which were captured with a 35mm camera on a roll of film. The arrangement of the images shows that the artist was developing the photographs in a darkroom using a contact printing method. This piece offers a glimpse into the everyday activities of people at Coney Island on a national holiday.
