Title: Les Americains
Author: Delphire
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
Edition: 2007 Edition
Condition: Excellent condition overall. Clean interior with no tears, markings, or notable wear. Includes the original dust jacket.
Please review all photographs carefully for a detailed representation of the book’s condition.
About: Originally published by Robert Delpire in Paris in 1958, Les Américains preceded the better-known American edition, The Americans, by one year. The sequencing and pacing of the photographs remain among the most influential achievements in photobook history, shaping generations of photographers and bookmakers alike. Frank’s journey across the United States resulted in a deeply personal portrait of postwar America, fragmented, restless, lonely, and quietly poetic.
Light Made Magic Note: We both love The Americans and already have an English edition waiting for us back in Slovakia. We picked up this Delpire edition in the United States because we wanted to spend more time with the original sequencing and experience the rhythm of the book in this form while working on our own publication. It’s one of those books we keep returning to for its pacing alone. Now it feels like the right moment for it to continue its journey to a new shelf.
