"Valencia, Spain 6" is a contact sheet from a roll of 35mm film taken by Robert Frank in 1952. Frank's iconic photobook *The Americans* (1959) was built from such contact sheets. The photobook captured the spirit of post-war America and is considered a masterpiece of photojournalism and social documentary photography. This contact sheet, composed of 24 frames, is a rare glimpse into Frank's creative process, showing how he composed his iconic images.
