Provenance: the stamp denoting the book as from the library of Michael Lefebvre - author of Guerra Grafica. This truly great photobook, documenting the Spanish Civil War, is a memorial to Capa's lover Gerda Taro who was killed by a tank in 1937. The printed dedication, accompanied by a photomontage portrait of Taro, reads:  ' For Gerda Taro, who spent one year at the Spanish front, and who stayed on. RC". Capa and Taro 'captured' 'people' in wartime and how they're affected by the conflict and not just the mechanics of war (Parr and Badger op. cit.). Lefebvre, whose copy this was, agrees, writing in Guerra Grafica of how, out of all the books on the conflict that this one, produced as a catalogue for an exhibition at the New School, is the most emotional of them all and of how Falling Soldier, the jacket photo of a militiaman, who has gone 'over the top' in the split second in which he was shot and died is "particularmente eficaz" (op cit), and some consider it to be the ".single most famous Spanish Civil War photograph" (p-313 Carey Nelson -The Aura of The Cause: Photographs from the Spanish Civil War in The Antioch Review, Vol. 55, No. 3, 1997, The soldier is:  "Hurled backward by the force of the bullet that has just struck his head, his body has not yet given up the gestural memory of his forward motion. Caught in mid-air, his hand still half clinging to his rifle, his leather cartridge boxes still ready at his waist, he seems at once to stride forward and collapse in death. He is eerily in between, at an impossible place of transition between life and death. The camera has somehow caught a moment that would ordinarily pass too quickly for human perception (op. cit.). The image first appeared in the French magazine VU two years before this book was published, and was then reprinted by Life, with a circulation of 1,600,000, on July 12, 1937. As one of the most superfamous battelfield images it is perhaps inevitable that it has ".intermittently been a source of controversy, a victim of rumors spread that it is a hoax, a staged event" (p-314 ibid). However, International Brigaders recalled a fearless photographer, always in the thick of the conflict with many of his photographs published during the war by the Republic uncredited, because he had a collective sense of authorship and eschewed personal fame.

dj. First Edition. First edition and first printing. Hardcover. Features a preface by Jay Allen who also translated Capa's captions. Legendary collection of black and white photographs by Robert Capa and Gerda Taro of the Spanish Civil War. The book's layout was arranged by Andre Kertesz.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good- to very good condition. First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. Original photographic dust-jacket over olive cloth. Scarce first edition of this remarkable photographic history of the Spanish civil war. "Unlike Ehrenburg's book, Capa's diary in Death in the Making is picture- rather then text-led. It contains not just Capa's photographs - including many that defined modern war photography - but also images by his lover, the journalist Gerda Taro, who was accidentally killed by a tank near Brunete in 1937. In a real sense, this book is her memorial, as Capa's eloquent frontispiece announces. The Spanish Civil War was an important conflict, not just because it was the first direct challenge to fascism, but also in terms of modern photojournalism, it witnessed the birth of the modern war photographer, exemplified by Capa, a figure who, because of his nominal independence from the military authorities, could perhaps be considered a more reliable witness than the 'official' photographers." (Parr/Badger, Vol. 1, page 139). Dustjacket with wear along edges, medium chips at lower foredge, tail of spine and, less pronounced along upper edge and lower back cover. Binding and block with light age-toning. …
