Description:
[Np: The Photographer, ca. 1963].. Original glossy double-weight gelatin silver print from negative, 14 x 11" (inclusive of margins, actual image 11 1/2 x 10 1/2). Numbered in pencil on verso, and with "Karsh, Ottawa" credit label and agency label of Rapho Guillumette. About fine. An original print of one of the sequence of superb photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa during the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, ZULU, directed by Cy Endfield. Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order. The present image is a strong half-length portrait of two Zulu warriors in tribal dress, including a visible shield, spear and two staffs, against the background of the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains. The image is identified in pencil on the verso as "No. 117" in the series. Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh's formal portraiture, examples of the resulting images… Read More

Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order. The present image is a beautiful 3/4-length photograph of two Zulu tribeswomen in ceremonial dress, including feathered headgear, small shields and short spears, with partial figures of other women in similar dress in the background. The image is identified in pencil on the verso as "No. 109" in the series. Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh's formal portraiture, examples of the resulting images have featured prominently in both museum and print retrospectives of his career.

Description:
[Np: The Photographer, ca. 1963].. Two original glossy double-weight gelatin silver prints from negatives, 11 x 14" (inclusive of margins). Captioned in pencil on verso. About fine. Original prints of two photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa attendant to the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, ZULU, directed by Cy Endfield. Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order, and his interest in the Zulu people lead to additional photographs not directly associated with the film, such as these. The present images are two variants of the same situation, a large gathering of Zulu children, some seated, some standing, with a Caucasian nun, in habit, caring for one of the youngest of the children. The images are denoted numbers 317 and 410 in the sequence, and are captioned in pencil: "At a missionary hospital in Zululand" and "Time for milk at a missionary hospital in Zululand."… Read More

London: Phaidon Press, 2000. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. boxed, (unpaged) : chiefly black and white illustrations, maps ; a fine copy in a fine box. Larry Towell first encountered the Mennonites near his home in Ontario, Canada, and his friendship with them has gained him unique access to their communities. He has been photographing Mennonites in Canada and Mexico for over ten years, creating a unique and intimate portrait of their way of life. In addition, Towell's own fascinating text tells us in poignant and descriptive detail of his experiences. With an artist's eye he paints a picture of their lives: the harshness and poverty of their rural existence, the disciplines and contradictions of their religion, their hunger for land and for work, and the constant struggle to keep the modern world at bay.".
