Robert Frank’s and Todd Webb’s parallel 1955 projects to photograph America are considered in the context of mid-twentieth-century American culture
 
In 1955 two photographers were awarded grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation to embark on trips across the United States. 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). Todd Webb (1905–2000) walked across the country, searching for “vanishing Americana and what is taking its place.”
 
Unaware of each other’s work, the photographers produced strikingly similar images of the highway, parades, and dim, smoky barrooms. Yet while Frank’s grainy, off-kilter style revealed many inequities of American life, Webb’s carefully composed images embraced clear detail and celebrated the individual oddities of Americans and their locales.
 
This revelatory book is the first to publish Webb’s 1955 photographs and connects these parallel projects for the first time. More than one hundred images accompany text illuminating Frank’s and Webb’s different perspectives and approaches to similar subjects and places; the difference in reception of Frank’s iconic work and Webb’s relatively unknown series; and the place of the road trip in shaping American identity at midcentury.

It works!
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My husband and I both love this handcream. It smells wonderful and gets fully absorbed into the skin. My son works in a golf course and his hands are in water and mud all the time and get very dried out in the winter. And he loves this stuff.

Great product and bottle
I discovered JR Watkins products when our neighbor became CEO and gave us a few of their products. I see they've been in business since the 1800s and the products are derived from plants. I like the spray/foam options and use the spray most often, spraying items I'm hand-washing. We don't get more free stuff and I'm happy to buy it, usually in bulk for refills.

Works great!
This is the best dishwashing spray I have ever used. A bit pricey, but lasts a very long time. One spray on a sponge works!
