Crowd before waterfront 1945

"Crowd before Waterfront" is a 1945 photograph by Robert Frank that captures a crowd of people gathered near a waterfront. The black and white image, printed on a sheet measuring 5.8 x 5.6 cm, focuses on the back of the crowd, revealing a young girl sitting on a man's shoulders and a glimpse of the waterfront and a cityscape in the distance. This candid photograph exemplifies Frank's documentary style and his interest in capturing the everyday moments of life, showcasing the anonymity of individuals within a large group.
