"Queen Elizabeth"--New York City E c. 1957 - 1958

"Queen Elizabeth" is a black and white photograph by Robert Frank from his iconic book "The Americans" (1958-1959). This contact sheet, featuring multiple frames of a single subject, is a quintessential example of Frank's documentary style. His work captured the everyday life of 1950s America, often with a critical lens. The gritty realism and intimate framing of these images challenge conventional narratives and offer a glimpse into the complexities of American society.
