Beautiful and highly artistic 1940's photograph of a luminous bust of General Douglas MacArthur. This was something that was sold as a souvenir at the time, but this image was done as a work of art, using the bust as the focal point. Taken against a dark background, the photo could be hanging in a museum or gallery as fine art and it is the only example we have ever seen. From the archives of Penguin Press and offered here for the first time ever.
