Originally published as: Les Ame?ricains. Paris : R. Delpire, 1958"From April 1955, when he secured a Guggenheim Fellowship (with recommendations from Walker Evans, Edward Steichen, Meyer Shapiro, Alexey Brodovitch, and Alexander Liberman), to June 1956, Robert Frank made a number of short trips out from New York and one long (nine-month) journey to the West Coast in a 1950 Ford to photograph America. From the more than twenty thousand images (on 687 rolls of film) that resulted, Frank eventually chose 83 of them and arranged them into four chapters, each beginning with a flag image.. Such a simple intention for a book that would so alter the course of modern photography."--The Book of 101 Books : Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century / edited by Andrew Roth. New York : PPP Editions in association with Ruth Horowitz, 2001. Fine/Fine.

Artist. Not a great deal is known of this 19th C woman photographer. Not many of her images survive. Yale has two Cartes de Visite, acabinet card and a tintype.Mass. Hist. Society has an example. She may have specialized in ladies portraits as in this example of an unidentified young woman in a rather jaunty hat and dark dress with a lacy front.CONDITION; the oak grained paper seems to have been stamped twice with Smith's name but is clearly identified. A RARE image. Very Good.
