It is hard to imagine the Vietnam War without the images of Horst Faas to chronicle the events and bring them into the living rooms of the American people. His images are as famous as any war photographs in American history and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1965, the year this photograph was taken. What makes this special however, is that the man in the photo is Faas himself taking a photograph of a dead civilian being attended to by an American serviceman in front of the U.S. Embassy. This is a completely original specimen, dated on the back and the only example of this important photograph we have ever seen!
