"In 1951 and early 1952, Robert Frank visited London - "I liked the light. I liked the fog." - and set out to photograph the unique atmosphere of the city. He juxtaposed money and work, wealth and poverty, creating a dynamic photographic project that has never been shown before in its entirety. In March 1953, Frank traveled to the town of Careau, in Wales, to photograph coal miners." "In Robert Frank: London/Wales, Frank returns for the first time to these old negatives. The volume explores a stylistic transformation in his work, a period of development that saw his photography move from an innovative romanticism to a highly charged, metaphorical realism. These two consecutive projects set the stage for his truly groundbreaking documentary, The Americans, completed just a few years later."--BOOK JACKET.
