Gandhi") and Inscribed, 4 by 3 inches, gelatin silver print by Kanu Gandhi, inscribed in Gujarati and signed in English at lower right of image, few light spots and foxing to edges, very good. Provenance: estate of Jerome Shochet. Candid portrait of Mahatma Gandhi widely grinning, taken by his grand-nephew, Kanu Gandhi (1917-1986). Kanu's family lived on Gandhi's ashram and Kanu was given his first camera in 1936.
