"War is over; the heroic French population reaffirms superiority.
Love, Paris, and Flowers but London was black, white, and gray, the
elegance, the style, all present in front of always changing fog.
Then I met a man from Wales talking about the Miners and I had read
How Green Was My Valley. This became my only try to make a
'Story'." --Robert Frank This magnificent new edition of
London/Wales, which features never-before-seen photographs,
juxtaposes Frank's images of the elegant world of London money with
the grimy working-class world of postwar Wales--bankers opposite
coal miners. It brings together two distinct bodies of work, and
reveals a significant documentary precedent for The Americans. In
also offers an important view of Frank's development, demonstrating
an early interest in social commentary, in the narrative potential
of photographic sequencing, and innovative use of the
expressionistic qualities of the medium.
