Jürgen Schadeberg (b. 1931)

Silver prints, each signed, titled, dated and blindstamped in the margin below the image, and signed, titled and stamped on the reverse, and bearing on the reverse a sticker with the artist's former address.

The illustrated print has two very light handling creases (visible only in raking light), one at the lower left corner in the child's coat and the other at the centre of the right image edge. Very minor bumps to corners on both prints. Otherwise condition is very good.

Jürgen Schadeberg was the principal photographer and later the art director of the great South African illustrated magazine Drum. A considerable contributor to the magazine himself in its heyday in the 1950s, of course, he also made a major impact on a whole new generation of South African photographers, among them Peter Magubane, Bob Gosani and Ian Berry.
