EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of American nostalgia with its depiction of a road marking featuring the iconic historic Route 66 sign. Taken on October 31,2010, in the charming town of Kingman, this image transports us back to a bygone era when this legendary highway was at its prime. The horizontal composition emphasizes the vastness and openness of the road ahead, inviting viewers to embark on their own adventure along this storied route. The illustration showcases an empty place, symbolizing both the allure and desolation that can be found along Route 66 today. As we gaze upon this scene captured by Alexander Klein for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are reminded of countless stories and memories created by those who have traveled these roads before us. The weathered appearance of the road signs adds character and authenticity to the photograph, evoking a sense of history and timelessness. It serves as a reminder that while progress may have changed our landscapes over time, there are still remnants like these signs that stand as enduring symbols of America's love affair with exploration and freedom. Alexander Klein's masterful composition invites us to reflect on our collective past while igniting a sense of wanderlust within us all. This print is not just an image; it is an invitation to hit the open road and experience firsthand what makes Route 66 such an indelible part of American culture.
