Original photograph of soldiers heading off the boats and onto Iwo Jima island on February 22, 1945. Taken by famous Pulitzer Prize winning photographer Joe Rosenthal as he disembarked with the troops. He would head onto the island and into the history books. The next day he would accompany a group of Marines to the top of Mt. Suribachi and take a picture of them raising a flag over the island that would win him a Pulitzer Prize and become one of the most famous (possibly THE most famous) war time images ever taken! It is incredible that this photograph from the day before talks about Rosenthal on the back caption with no clue that he would soon become a household name. Photo is in great condition and clearly stamped on the back, this is the work of a skilled photographer who managed to take a high quality image with death all around him. An important new offering that we have never seen before and grading a perfect 10/10!
