In 1955, on a grant from the Guggenheim Foundation, Robert Frank (1924–2019) drove coast to coast, photographing the highways, bars, and people that formed the basis for his widely admired publication The Americans (1958). Also awarded a Guggenheim the same year, Todd Webb (1905–2000) walked across the country, searching for “vanishing Americana and what is taking its place.” More than one hundred images accompany text illuminating Frank’s and Webb’s different perspectives and approaches to similar subjects and places.
