FRANK (Robert). Les Américains. Paris, Delpire, 1958. Oblong quarto, bound in the publisher’s illustrated boards. Illustrated with 83 full-page photographic reproductions. First edition of this landmark work, the result of the journey Robert Frank undertook across the United States over two years as a Guggenheim Foundation Fellow. Texts by Henry Miller, Simone de Beauvoir, John Steinbeck, and others. In very good condition, though the cover shows some areas of sunning and a few small spots of foxing.
