I've always loved that golf shot.

There's camera's to be seen in the shots at this link: http://www.usaukonline.com/latest-n...nd-of-golf-in-1961-go-on-sale-for-55-000.html

First one is likely a Rolleiflex, but the shot of Che and the shot of Castro photographing Nikita Khrushchev contain camera's that I cannot identify. Anyone?


Nice set of shots, and considering the current state of the economy, a nice revenue too...!

Fixed that! It was the same as the second link that Stephen posted. It should do the job now.

Thanks!

There should be a story to accompany this. I hope you'll share it with us.

Given how rare it is to find Korda vintage prints on the market, I might have suspected higher prices. Very interesting story.
