"Nixon Campaign 29" is a contact sheet by renowned photographer Robert Frank, taken in 1960. The black and white photo shows a series of snapshots from a Nixon campaign event, capturing the candid interactions between the then-Vice President and supporters. Frank's raw and unfiltered style, characteristic of his influential photobook "The Americans", offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of political campaigning in the early 1960s. The contact sheet format, a common practice among photographers of the era, allows viewers to engage with the photographer's process and the serendipitous nature of capturing moments in time.
