APPARENTLY UNIQUE ORIGINAL MAQUETTE FOR KHALDEI'S FROM MURMANSK TO BERLIN, COMPRISING C.200 GELATIN SILVER PRINTS, including most of the best known images from one of this century's foremost photojournalists: the iconic raising of the Soviet Flag over the Reichstag, the haunting sight of a destitute Russian carrying her belongings through the ruins of Murmansk, the lone stag caught on the battlefield, scenes from the liberations of Sebastopol, Budapest, and Vienna, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill at the Potsdam conference, and many other resonant 'Moments' from the War's outset to the Nuremberg Trials.
Yevgeny Khaldei (1917-1997) was born on the eve of the Russian Revolution. At the age of twelve he left school and began to work in a steel factory, where his passion for photography took root. Wholly self-taught he built a crude box camera with a lens from his grandmother's glasses, and experimented by taking portraits of his sisters. At the age of fifteen his photographs started to appear in his local paper Socialist Donbass. When the German troops invaded Russia, Khaldei was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Soviet army, and sent out to chronicle the conflict carrying a camera, and a backpack of chemicals to process his film. First stationed in the Arctic city of Murmansk, Khaldei ultimately covered all 1,481 days of the War between Russia and Germany as a correspondent for the Tass News Agency. Brian Moynahan, The Russian Century: A Photojournalistic History of Russia in the Twentieth Century, London: 1994 (cf. p. 225 describing the Reichstag photographs as 'one of the most famous photographs ever'); A. & A. Nakhimovsky, Witness to History: The Photographs of Yevgeny Khaldei, New York: 1997 ('ONE OF THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHIC DISCOVERIES TO COME TO LIGHT AFTER THE DISSOLUTION OF THE SOVIET UNION IS THE ARCHIVE OF IMAGES BY PHOTOGRAPHER YEVGENY KHALDEI').
