Wales 15 1953

"Wales 15" is a contact sheet by Robert Frank, taken in 1953, featuring a series of black and white photographs documenting the lives of people in Wales. The contact sheet, a photographic printing technique that displays multiple frames in a single sheet, captures a snapshot of everyday life, showcasing a diverse group of people, perhaps miners or workers, walking down a street or at a factory. The contact sheet format, favored by photographers like Frank, provides an intimate and raw glimpse into his creative process and the raw images he captured. The gritty realism of the images is characteristic of Frank's work, which often focused on social and political issues, offering a commentary on the lives of ordinary people.
