Very cool. Thanks for posting the link!

I hope they re-publish the book. It would be so amazing to see some of Frank's early work that could have been the warm-up to his classic "The Americans".

Thanks for the great link. I own a copy of the seminal book Americans. I think there needs to be a retrospective, a compilation of the larger body of his work, not just the Americans, to better understand his work.

These were actually made after the work for The Americans.
His series of NYC bus pictures (1957-58) would coincide with these.

Anyway, thanks furcafe for the link. Very interesting.
