Wales 1953

"Wales" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank, taken in 1953 during his travels across America. The photograph showcases a man in a dark coat, his head obscured by a shadow, his hands clasped tightly together in his lap. Frank's photography is often characterized by its intimate and candid style, capturing moments of everyday life with a sense of immediacy and realism. This image, part of his iconic book "The Americans," exemplifies his ability to reveal both the beauty and the loneliness of human existence.
