VH-684
Amazing group of material from one of Americas
most famous Photographer and Journalist, serving in Vietnam
in the early 60s, Malcolm W. Browne. This Associated Press
Correspondent is most well known for his world famous
haunting photo,"The burning monk", and receiving World Press
Photo of the Year for it.
Monk
Thích Quảng Đức's
self-immolation took place during the
Buddhist crisis in
Vietnam. Malcolm Browne went on to win the 1964
Pulitzer Prize as well for his reporting in Vietnam. He was
also an Edward R Murrow Fellow.
We have his original US Helmet and cover. The cover was
originally an NVA or South Vietnamese Camo Cover. He inked
"Browne" across the front and later added a Vietnamese made
name tag. The liner is a little later and may be something
he picked up to use while in South America in 1972.His
canteen is typical US issue inscribed with his Saigon
address. Also present are his binoculars and case, with his
name strip across the top.. Really an important group from
one of the most famous correspondents of the Vietnam War.
There is a small variety of letters, including one from 1991
which was concerning a photo of an American Soldier holding
a human head. He explained that the Soldier has been killed
in an attack and the man had picked it up to show the
camera. A historic set. $1395$SOLD$ |
