Street vendors, Paris 1951

"Street Vendors, Paris" (1951) by Robert Frank is a black and white photograph that captures the essence of everyday life in the French capital. The image features a pair of flower bouquets wrapped in paper and a vendor's cart in the background. The blurry figures in the background add a sense of movement and anonymity to the scene, highlighting the fleeting nature of street life. Frank's use of a wide-angle lens and a low perspective emphasizes the sense of depth and perspective of the Parisian street. This photograph, along with other images from Frank's iconic book, "The Americans," is considered a landmark work of street photography, known for its candid style and social commentary.
