That summer he arrived in Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place enduring the austere conditions of the postwar period like the rest of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the daily life of a fishing village. His portrayal is so natural and clear that further verbal explanation seems superfluous; they simply reflect, in the photographer's words, \"the humanity of the moment\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs in this book, many of which have never been published before, allow dignity to override poverty. \u003cem\u003eRobert Frank\u003c\/em\u003e, a key figure in photographic history, was born in Zurich in 1924 and immigrated to the United States in 1947.
