Butte, Montana by Robert Frank

A beaut indeed. Unsurprisingly Frank's depictions were not well received stateside. 83 of the 28,000 shots were selected and published in a book simply called 'Les Américains' by Robert Delpire in Paris in 1958. The following year the American edition was published with an introduction by the beat poet and writer Jack Kerouac, whom Frank had met on a side walk after a party. He showed him his photographs and Kerouac agreed to write about them.
