Description

Included in Robert Frank's book, The Americans, this image captures a cowboy lighting a cigarette in New York City. 13 The jarring nature of the photograph, taken in 1955 is based on the misplaced man, wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat in an urban environment. The city street to his left shows the dirty street on which large vehicles both move and are parked.
