Boy holding flag on national holiday 1 - 1941

This photograph, taken by Robert Frank in 1941, captures a young boy holding a Swiss flag during a national holiday. The image is a powerful testament to Frank's ability to capture the everyday moments of life with a sense of depth and emotion. The boy's gaze, directed upward, suggests a sense of wonder and innocence, while the flag serves as a symbol of national pride and identity. The composition is simple yet effective, with the boy's figure dominating the foreground and the background filled with a blurred cityscape, adding to the overall sense of immediacy and authenticity.
