About This Item
[Np: The Photographer, ca. 1963].. Original glossy double-weight gelatin silver print from negative, 14 x 11" (inclusive of margins, image size is 10.5 x 10.75"). Captioned and numbered in pencil on verso. About fine. An original print of one of the sequence of superb photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa during the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, ZULU, directed by Cy Endfield. Yale educated Endfield (1914-1995) was for a time associated with Welles's Mercury Productions. His early socially conscious films, THE UNDERWORLD STORY and THE SOUND OF FURY, contributed to his running afoul of the HUAC and his being blacklisted. He expatriated to the UK in 1953 and ZULU is one of his major credits of later years. Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order. The present image is a classic head and shoulders portrait and the image is captioned on the verso as "Cy Endfield" and "No. 2 - 8" in the series in pencil on the verso. Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh's formal portraiture, examples of the resulting images have featured prominently in both museum and print retrospectives of his career.
