Robert Capa, American soldiers at Bastogne. 7 x 8 inch gelatin silver print. This was an important part of the "Battle of the Bulge." The action was in late December 1944. The photograph was published in a newspaper soon after, on January 8 1945. Part of the actual newspaper is glued onto the verso. This is reminiscent of Capa's D-Day invasion photographs, but the soldiers are not coming ashore but crossing a snowy field to climb under the barbed wire. Capa must have been close the soldier facing the camera. There is a white vertical cropping mark on the right that is almost parallel to the stakes that hold the wire. Cropping notations are written on the bottom of the print.
