"London / Wales (Second Edition)" is a photo collection by Robert Frank, one of America's leading photographers. His most notable works include "The Americans," first published in 1958, and his 1972 autobiographical photo essay, "The Lines of My Hand." While Frank also produced numerous conceptual works in film, the insight and foresight he developed during his early years as a journalist, coupled with his exceptional sensitivity and creativity, have had a profound influence on subsequent photographers and artists. This book is comprised of images taken during Frank's time in the UK in the early 1950s, after he moved to the US after the war and worked in fashion photography for magazines such as Harper's Bazaar before becoming a freelance journalist. This collection of Frank's early work, depicting wealthy London and poor Wales, evokes the style of his later portrayals of the contrast between white and black people in America. The first edition was published in 2007, and this is the second edition published in 2018.
