From a review in "Publisher's Weekly": "In 1927 Eisenstadt sold his first photograph to a Czechoslovakian newspaper; less than a decade later he was pioneering the practice of pictorial journalism for Henry Luce's Life. The rest, as this latest collection of his works attests, is history. With the help of O'Neil, director of exhibitions and vintage prints at 'Life', Eisenstadt has assembled a trip down memory lane that is overwhelming in historical scope and is utterly pleasurable proof of his stature as the father of photojournalism. From the outset of his career, 'Eisie' focused a keen eye on topical subjects: in the 1930s he photographed Hitler, Goebbels and Mussolini, as well as Garbo, Toscanini and Bernard Shaw, and recorded the dying embers of prewar glamour in Europe. In the '40s and '50s his lens captured such Hollywood greats as Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren, along with writers W. H. Auden and T. S. Eliot. Between portraits of the famous reproduced here are equally recognizable images of anonymity: a sailor grabbing a Victory Day kiss at Times Square, children shrieking at a Parisian puppeteer's show." Among the more famous subjects of photographs in this book are Martin Buber, Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Arturo Toscanini, Gilbert Murray and Thomas Hart Benton. The book opens with an introdctoory biographical essay by Bryan Holme. --with a bonus offer--; 4to-over 9¾"-12" tall.
