One of the most famous images ever taken, photographer Malcolm Browne's photo of Buddhist monk Thích Qu?ng Ð?c lighting himself on fire in protest remains as important today as it was when it was first published over fifty years ago! The offered photo dates from six year later (1969) when the top images from the turbulent decade of the 1960's was coming to an end and the greatest images were being revisited. A spectacular beauty in fine condition that presents with impressive clarity for a wire photo!
