'Published for the fun of it by The New York Times and dedicated to the American bookseller June, 1963'.
Frank supported himself in New York at this time with sporadic commercial work for supportive art directors, including Cipe Pineles at Charm magazine, Alexey Brodovitch at Harper's Bazaar, and Lou Silverstein at The New York Times. When Lou Silverstein died in 2011, Robert Frank sent a note to his memorial service saying, 'He gave me moral support as well as financial – and this made my life in New York City possible.'
First edition; 8vo (215 x 145 mm, 8½ x 5¾ in); black-and-white photographs printed in offset; endpapers illustrated with a green geometric pattern, with a photograph of Zero Mostel on the front, patterned paper-covered boards, titles to font in black, minor wear to extremities, minor toning to top and bottom edges, without the plain glassine dust-jacket, near-fine; [44]pp.
