This contact sheet was likely used for Frank’s iconic book "The Americans" (1958-59), a seminal work in photojournalism that documented everyday life in the United States. The contact sheet is a crucial part of the photographic process, allowing photographers to select the best images from a roll of film. This particular sheet, depicting scenes from Detroit, reveals Frank’s keen eye for capturing candid moments of American life, making it a compelling document of the era.
