U.S. 91--Idaho 1956

"U.S. 91--Idaho" is a black and white photograph taken by Robert Frank in 1956. It depicts a cluster of crosses, seemingly marking a roadside memorial, partially obscured by tall grass. The composition is centered on the crosses, which stand out against the blurred background of a highway and rolling hills. This image is characteristic of Frank's "The Americans," a collection of photographs documenting American life in the 1950s, often capturing moments of loneliness and isolation. This photo, like many in the series, evokes a sense of melancholy and contemplation, reflecting on the passage of time and the fragility of life.
