City of London 1951

"City of London" is a 1951 photograph by Robert Frank, known for its stark black and white aesthetic and its portrayal of the city's atmosphere. The image captures a narrow street in London, shrouded in fog, with a lone figure in a top hat walking towards the viewer. The composition emphasizes the sense of isolation and anonymity of urban life, a hallmark of Frank's photographic style. The photograph's stark contrasts, use of perspective, and focus on everyday life are characteristic of the "street photography" genre.
