Bankers/London 1951

"Bankers/London" is a photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1951. The black and white image captures four men in suits and hats walking down a street in London. The photograph exemplifies Frank’s signature candid style of photojournalism. The subjects are captured in mid-stride, the sense of movement conveyed through the blurred background. The photograph reflects the social and economic context of the time, and the anonymous nature of the figures speaks to the urban anonymity of a city like London.
