Macy's Parade no number 1953

Robert Frank's "Macy's Parade no number" (1953) is a contact sheet of black and white photographs taken during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. This contact sheet, a tool photographers use to select images, shows a series of candid shots of people gathered in the crowd, including a young girl looking directly at the camera. These images showcase Frank's documentary style and are characteristic of his influential photobook "The Americans" (1958), which documented American society in the mid-20th century.
