1948 Original Photo STEINBECK's RUSSIA by ROBERT CAPA Starting Bid 99 cents !!! .... Absolutely NO RESERVE !!! DESCRIPTION A SUPERB Vintage 1948 ORIGINAL Photograph taken by legendary 20th Century photojournalist Robert Capa and used in the book by Pulitzer Prize novelist, John Steinbeck titled A Russian Journal . Fine 7-3/4" x 9-1/2" 1st generation, silver-gelatin, "period", photograph with the original publisher stamp and date on the verso. Capa was an acclaimed 20th century combat photographer who covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. He documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris. In 1948, Capa and Steinbeck toured the Soviet Union and wrote a humorous report-book about their experiences, A Russian Journal , which was illustrated with Capa's photos. Avoiding political topics and reporting about the life of simple Soviet peasants and workers, Steinbeck tried to generate more understanding toward people living in the Soviet Union, in a time when anti-Communism was widespread in the U.S. and the danger of war between the two countries was imminent. This is one of those photographs that appear in the book. Superb read more
