Additional Details



In the 1920s, Eisenstaedt's professional career as a photographer was just beginning. By 1929 he was shooting for various photo agencies and was very successful. This early photograph and the next were gifted to a colleague at the Associated Press, in Vienna, in the early 1930s and has been in the family since.
