In the 50s, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to travel through Europe with his family. In the summer of 1952, he arrived in Valencia, Spain, which was then a humble, gloomy place, enduring the harsh and austere conditions of the post-war period. The pictures Frank took of Valencia, depicting everyday life in a fishing village, reflect, in his own words, the "humanity of the moment".
This book, carefully edited by Robert Frank and Vicente Todoli, features these photographs, many of them previously unpublished, in which dignity overrides poverty, and which forever changed his attitude towards taking photographs.
