NAT FEIN, Dwight Eisenhower, c. 1950, 12.5x9.875" Gelatin silver print, Printed c. 1950, Signed in ink on mount recto in lower right corner.

Legendary New York Herald Tribune photographer captures Dwight Eisenhower's campaign in 1952. Another of Fein's photos was used on Eisenhower's campaign posters.

Nathaniel Fein (1914-2000) was born in Manhattan, joined The Herald Tribune as a copy boy in the early 1930s and became a staff photographer in 1939. In his three decades with the Tribune, Fein, who called himself ''just a human-interest photographer,'' took thousands of pictures evoking life in New York. Using a bulky Speed Graphic camera, he photographed circus elephants sleeping, Mayor Fiorello La Guardia leading the Sanitation Department orchestra, and Dr. Albert Schweitzer kneeling to shake a little girl's hand. He served as a photographer in the Air Forces during World War II, then returned to the Tribune and remained there until it went out of business in 1966.

Mr. Fein's photographs appeared in Edward Steichen's ''Family of Man'' show at the Museum of Modern Art in 1955, and a collection of his photos was published as Nat Fein's Animals (Gilbert Press, 1955).
