On ship--New York to Paris no number 1949

Robert Frank's "On ship--New York to Paris no number" (1949) is a contact sheet, a photographer's tool, that reveals the process of making a photograph. This iconic piece of photojournalism, created by Frank while documenting his journey across the Atlantic, provides a unique glimpse into his visual storytelling. The contact sheet showcases a series of frames captured on a roll of film, with several showcasing the ship's masts and rigging, and others capturing scenes from the bustling port of New York and the busy streets of Paris. Frank's use of contact sheets as a finished piece of art elevates this document of creation into a valuable artistic piece.
