The photograph offered here and in the following two lots were gifts from Robert Frank to the present owners for their generous support of the Photographs Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  In 1986, in an effort to raise money to purchase 27 prints from The Americans, the Museum contacted a small group of donors, and asked for their help to fund the acquisition.  Pleased at the prospect of having a large selection from his seminal series in the Metropolitan's collection, Robert Frank, through Pace/MacGill Gallery, offered these patrons the opportunity to select three images from his body of work and made each a set of prints.
