Description: Iwo Jima original photographs (4) Four original photographs, including Joe Rosenthal's iconic 'Flag Raising on Mt. Suribachi, Iwo Jima'. The other images show 'Four Marines with the US Flag, Mt Suribachi', 'The 28th Regiment Atop Mt. Suribachi' and 'Aerial View of a Pacific Island' (believed to be Iwo Jima). 1945. Provenance: Sotheby's New York Sale, 6 April 2000, NY7450 Lot 199. Four gelatin-silver prints of varying sizes, ranging between 3.75 x 4.5 and 4.5 x 5.5 inches. 'The 28th Regiment Atop Mt. Suribachi' photo has the Military stamp of the Commander in Chief, Pacific Ocean Area (CINCPOA) on verso, which reads, "Examined / For Military Security / No Objection to Publication / Subject to Deletions / And Amendments Indicated." I have spoken with several photograph dealers and the general consensus is that these are type 1 contact prints, made off of the original negatives. The image quality is very high. Generally in good/very good condition, with creasing and handling wear. One photo with editorial markings. American photographer Joe Rosenthal's Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph Flag Raising on Iwo Jima would become the defining image of American victory in the Pacific and one of the most iconic images in world history. In later years when asked about the impact of this photograph Rosenthal would remark, "I took the picture; the Marines took Iwo Jima." CHECK OUT OUR OTHER AUTOGRAPHS & MEMORABILIA ON EBAY!
