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.

Not sturdy toy
Toy was not as big as we thought it would be and in addition the dog ripped it up within 2 weeks. Expensive for not lasting very long.

Not for heavy chewers.
Does not hold up to our german shepherd. If you have a large dog be aware the seams will separate. But this is our dogs favorite toy. We gad to buy two within 6 months.

Not for playing tug!!
Great toy, but we played tug with it and one of his flippers came off. It is great when my MBT just shakes it! Don’t recommend playing tug!

Instantly Loved by my Mini Aussie!
I wondered how long before my sharp-toothed mini-Aussie completely destroyed this cute duck toy. It was a Christmas present that he loved instantly. He plays with it everyday and it hasn't shown any tears or loose threads as he has destroyed other supposedly "tough" toys. Was happy the "quack" is audible but not annoying. Perfect. In a short time it became his favorite toy.

Cute fun toy
Style: Squirrel, Style: Squirrel
My pup doesn’t play with toys, she’s food driven but she absolutely loves this. The plush squirrels are just toys, but she goes after them like they’re treats. She chews and tosses them around once she gets one out. They haven’t torn, and it’s been a week so far. The quality of the tree and plush toys are higher than other burrow toys she has. It comes with 4 which is better than the typical 3. She’s small and though it doesn’t seem to be more difficult because the toys are bigger, she’s satisfied after getting only 2 out. Worth the little extra money.
