“Trolly – New Orleans”, 1955. The photo, part of Frank’s groundbreaking volume “The Americans”, was taken our days after an encounter with the police in Arkansas that darkened this artistic viewpoint. From the New York Times, July 5 2015

Interesting take on lists in general and lists of photobooks specifically from Blake Andrews on ‘B‘. I have four of the top fifteen (including the No.1, ‘The Americans’). I’d never heard of many of them (including the No. 2, ‘Evidence’). Many of them now cost more than I would be willing to pay for them so I’ll have to content myself with looking at the images online.
