One of the most enduring and iconic images of the 1980's is the lone protester from Tiananmen Square in China who was willing to lay down his life for his beliefs as he stood in front of an envoy of tanks headed his direction. Captured in still photography and in video, the image defined a generation in China and helped spark a revolution against Communism. The offered wire photograph is an original to 1989 and is an extremely rare photo to find in any form as an original. One of the most important photographs ever taken!
