(WOMAN PHOTOJOURNALIST) Three portraits of the iconic Thérèse Bonney (1894-1978) with her camera. Ferrotyped silver prints, one with applied white paint, the images each measuring approximately 9 5/8x7 3/4 inches (24.4x19.7 cm.), one sheet slightly larger, with Bonney identified, in pencil, and a File Copy hand stamp, on verso; one also with a Credit Line Therese Bonney and a M.T. Bonney copyright hand stamp, on verso. Circa 1942
"I go forth alone," the pioneering Bonney said, "try to get the truth and then bring it back and try to make others face it and do something about it." She is best-known for her photographs made during WWII focusing on the uprooting of innocent civilians, including children. In one of these images, perhaps the most recognized portrait of her, Bonney is shown wearing a medal, likely the the Croix de Guerre, which she was awarded in 1941.
