Book design by Robert Frank, Gerhard Steidl and Claas Möller. Text in english. Perfect condition! Collector`s copy! First time, that all negatives are printed in the complete size.

Hasselblad Center, page 176/177. 802 books of the M.+M. Auer collection, page 375. Robert Frank s The Americans was first published on May 15, 1958 by Robert Delpire in Paris. It featured 83 of Frank s photographs taken in America in 1955 and 1956, accompanied by writings in French about American political and social history selected by Alain Bosquet. Delpire s Les Américains formed part of the Encyclopédie essentielle series, which presented foreign countries to a French audience. Each of Frank s photographs in this edition is placed on a right-hand page, with the texts on the left-hand pages. The first English edition of The Americans was published in 1959 by Grove Press in New York. It presented the same photographs as the Delpire edition, however a text by Jack Kerouac replaced the French writings. The book begins with Kerouac s introduction, followed by Frank s photographs in the same sequence as the Delpire edition. On the left-hand pages are short captions from Frank, which describe the location. Since 1959 The Americans has been reprinted by different publishers, in multiple languages and formats. Frank has had varying influence on these editions; some were printed without his input, approval or knowledge. In July 2007 the Steidl edition of The Americans was printed. Frank was involved in every step of its design and production. The 83 photographs were scanned in tritone at Steidl s digital darkroom from vintage prints in Frank s collection, which revealed that many images in past editions were actually crops of the originals. For the Steidl book Frank studied and revised these crops and in many cases included the full photographs; in only a few cases the Delpire and Grove Press compositions remain. The Steidl edition also reproduces two photographs printed from negatives different to those used for all previous editions. These photographs depict the same two subjects as in other editions (Metropolitan Life Insurance Building New York City and Assembly Line Detroit), but from a slightly different perspective. Kerouac s text and Frank s captions remain unaltered from the Grove Press edition, the typography however was redesigned. As well as revising the book s design, Frank also chose the paper, endpaper and book linen. He opted for a thread-stitched book, and conceived a new dust jacket made from the same paper as in the book (Xantur 170 g from Scheufelen, Germany), sealing it with a simple varnish. Frank personally oversaw printing on July 18, 2007, inspecting and approving each sheet at Steidl s press in Göttingen. In January 2009 the National Gallery of Art, Washington, celebrated the 50th anniversary of "The Americans" with an exhibition that will examine both the construction of the book and the photographs themselves. All 83 photographs published in "The Americans" will be presented in the order established in the book, providing a detailed examination of the book`s roots in Frank`s early work and the impact on his later art.***************Steidl, Göttingen.

American first edition (per publisher's requisite statement "First Grove Press Edition" upon copyright page). [4], i-vi, [2], [83 leaves of b/w plates], [1]. Hardcover: H 19.25cm x L 21.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed and soiled with some toning and foxing; front panel chipped at top right with unfortunate long jagged tear with associated creasing ascending from bottom right to center left; shallow chipping at spine ends with nicks and other much lesser tears at panel edges; front flap retains publisher's original printed price "$7.50" at top right; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. Black cloth with vibrant gilt stamping to spine. Text block's top edge well foxed with much lighter presence to fore-edge. Some toning to endpapers; past owner's personal bookplate affixed to front pastedown; scattered spots of light soiling at margins of interior leaves. Slight sag to text block but binding is firm. A very good copy in only a good dust jacket. Aided by his mentor Walker Evans, Swiss-born American photographer Robert Frank secured a Guggenheim Fellowship for 1955and 1956 with the goal of documenting the dichotomies of American society. Travelling nationally, usually via long road trips sometimes with his family and sometimes without, Frank visited all regions and almost all states including Savannah, Miami Beach, St. Petersburg, New Orleans (a Crescent City streetcar being the locale of famous photo illustrating the dj's front panel), Houston, Los Angeles, Reno, Salt Lake City, Butte, Detroit, Chicago, etc. Initially unable to secure an American publisher, Frank convinced Paris publisher Robert Delpire to issue the book in 1958 under the title "Les Amà ricains." Grove Press quickly followed with this first American edition in 1959 and its success led to prominent solo exhibitions at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1961 and at New York's Museum of Modern Art in 1962. Regarded as one the most significant works in the history of photography, THE AMERICANS was republished in 1969 and 2008.

Third edition. Oversize oblong format. Signed and inscriberd by the author / photographer Robert Frank to Harold Hayes, editor in chief of Esquire magazine from 1961 to 1973 having been handpicked by the magazineÕs founder, Arnold Gingrich, as his successor. Inscribed: ÒFor Harold and the New Life in California. Robert, July 23, 1984.Ó During HayesÕs editorship, the magazine kept pace with the tumultuous sixties with landmark articles, fiction, and essays by the likes of Tom Wolfe, Norman Mailer, Gay Talese, Garry Wills, Michael Herr, William Burroughs, Jean Genet, Terry Southern, etc., and was a major influence on a generation of writers. In 1981, Hayes took over as editorial vice president of CBS magazines. He moved west in 1984 to become editor of California magazine, a position he held through 1987. Additionally, in 1984, Robert Frank was commissioned by Harold Hayes, editor of California magazine (a position he held through 1987) to photograph the Democratic National Convention held in San Francisco. Near fine copy with a hint of edge wear and very minor bumping to the corners in a near fine dust jacket with the barest indication of age. A collection of 83 black & white photographs of mostly rural America from the 1950Õs by renowned photographer Robert Frank. From the opening of the introduction by Jack Kerouac: ÒThat crazy feeling in America when the sun is hot on the streets and music comes out of the jukebox or from a nearby funeral, thatÕs what Robert Frank has captured in tremendous photographs taken as he traveled on the road around practically forty-eight states in an old used car (on Guggenheim Fellowship) and with the agility, mystery, genius, sadness and strange secrecy of a shadow photographed scenes that have never been seen before on film.Ó.

Oblong 4to, original cloth, dust jacket. A few pieces of non-staining tape inside the dust jacket, reinforcing a few tiny closed tears, otherwise a remarkably fine copy. A few pieces of non-staining tape inside the dust jacket, reinforcing a few tiny closed tears, otherwise a remarkably fine copy First American edition, preceded by the French edition, which did not include the Kerouac introduction or Frank's textual comments. "The Delpire first edition Les Américains (1958) is more like a sociological study, wherein Frank's photographs appear as illustrations of the probing texts printed on facing pages, gathered by Alain Bosquet from dozens of illustrious writers. . . . When Barney Rosset at Grove Press agreed to publish The Americans in the U.S., Frank pulled out all the text, leaving only blank pages with captions facing the images, mirroring the layout of Evans's American Photographs. . . . The French edition is sociology, the American edition is poetry." - David Levi Strauss, as quoted by Roth, The Book of 101 Books, p. 150.
