Catalogue Note
The photograph offered here was inscribed by Arnold Newman to Frank Zachary, who worked as editor and art director for numerous magazines including Holiday, Portfolio, Status, Modern Photography, and Travel and Leisure, before becoming editor-in-chief at Town and Country in 1972. He first met Newman at Modern Photography in the mid 1940s, and the two worked together on numerous stories. Zachary was a proponent of the photographic essay, and it is largely through his editorial support of the form that it became a prominent feature in the magazines of the day.
