About this Item
Chinese Communist Leader Mao Tse-Tung Archive of 8 photographs. 7 are original silver gelatin press photos, 2 seem to be later reprints. Each measuring between 3" x 3.75" and 8" x 11". The photos come from a Press archive and were used in articles of the time. They depict Mao between 1949-72, often during his diplomatic visits across the world. In the earliest photo, Mao is seen sat next to Joseph Stalin at his 70th birthday celebration. This photo, dating from 1949, was shaded in by hand by the photo editor. A 1966 photo sees Mao reading the newspaper and smoking in his study. Another photo from Mao's later years sees him in front of two Black women, likely from a state visit with an African leader. Another 1966 shot shows the Chairman looking out over a railing, possibly at a crowd next to him, top general and ally Lin Piao. Piao would die under a mysterious plane crash five years later after a rift opened up between him and Mao. Lastly, two photos from 1972 show Tse-Tung meeting with Asian foreign Prime Ministers in his Peking residence, Chungnanhai. This archive captures a gargantuan figure in the history of modern China, both revered and despised, in moments of quiet contemplation and meeting with other world leaders. In very good condition overall. Seller Inventory # 20595
