Near Fine The inscription reads: "For John and Tana, your tenth anniversary, avec mon amitie, Gilberte Brassai, Paris 6 Fevrier 1993". John G. Morris (born in 1916) is probably the most celebrated living photo-editor. He worked with many of the finest photographers - Robert Capa, Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith. As the London Picture Editor of "Life" during WWII, he was responsible for editing and publishing Capa's coverage of D-Day. Later, Morris became the Picture Editor of "Ladies Home Journal", Executive Editor of Magnum Photos, and Picture Editor of The New York Times. He still tours the world lecturing about photo-journalism "If it [a photo] has a message, the message has to come through... But, it should evoke something from the heart. It should pull at you. Not only should it inform you, it should hook you".
