Robert Capa Paris, 1952 Tirée par l'artiste, vers 1955 Deux épreuve argentiques, 167x122 mm, Get the Picture page 152 Robert Capa Paris, 1952 Printed by the artist in Manhattan in the mid 1950's Two gelatin silver prints, 167x122 mm, artist credit, another variant published in Get the Picture page 152 Bob Capa is looking at me. Ruth must have given it to me long ago (maybe just after Capa's disappearance). This portrait of Robert Capa is a variant of the one commonly seen. This is my only souvenir of the LHJ assignment I gave to Bob Capa in 1948 to photograph a family in Wisconsin for "How America Lives." The husband was a veteran of the "Battle of the Bulge" which virtually ended World War II. I chose Bob for the assignment as he shared the same memories as the subject. I chose this for the lead photo, to begin the story.
