ROBERT FRANK (b. 1924)

Jack Kerouac who accompanied Robert Frank on a couple of road trips wrote about this photograph, '...a little way down the road, the inevitable roadside Florida zoo and the old alligator slumbering like a thousand years and too lazy to shake his horny snout and shake off the peanut shells on his nose and eyes ... mooning in his gravy.' Kerouac, 'On the Road to Florida,' Evergreen Review, no. 74, January 1970, p. 64
