New York: Grove Press, 1959. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. The Americans. Robert Frank. Introduction by Jack Kerouac. Grove Press, New York, 1959. 180 pp. Unpaginated. Oblong quarto. First edition. Clothbound in photo-illustrated dustjacket. 83 Black-and-white reproductions. SIGNED/INSCRIBED "Robert Frank / NYC Nov. 30. 96. / To Rob ..." (also included is a notarized letter written by the former owner - a noted New York City bookseller - detailing when and where Robert Frank hand signed the book for him). BOOK CONDITION: Fine; a tight, clean copy in a Fine dust jacket with hints of toning/soiling, tiny closed tear at front (and rear) top corners (at fold), and two 1/2 inch closed tears with associated wrinkling along top rear edge (small archival tape repairs to verso of jacket at each of these points). Jacket looks fantastic in a clear, brodart protector. Overall, a highly collectible SIGNED copy of the 1959 Grove Press Edition. Rober Frank's Americans "...paved the way for three decades of photographs exploring the personal poetics of lived experience. Many memorable photobooks have been derived from this mass of material. None has been more memorable, more influential, nor more fully realized than Franks's masterpiece."--Parr and Badger, The Photobook: A History, Vol. I . "It was Frank's The Americans that made the photographic book into an artform in its own right. Frank was following a lead set by Morris' book [The Inhabitants] and, especially, by Evans' American Photographs, both of which are designed to let pictures play off each other in a way that controls and reinforces their effect on the viewer. Even Klein's New York book displays this tendency. But Frank's goes much further, creating a denser, richer, deeper structure of images than any book before it."--Colin Westerbeck in Michel Frizot, et. al., The New History of Photography
