Paris 27A 1949 - 1950

"Paris 27A" is a contact sheet by Robert Frank, taken in Paris between 1949 and 1950. This work, part of his seminal book "The Americans," is an example of "street photography," capturing candid moments of Parisian life. The sheet displays a sequence of 36 individual frames showcasing a range of subjects from street scenes to portraits, offering a glimpse into Frank's photographic process. The contact sheet itself is a valuable artifact, revealing the photographer's selection and editing decisions.
