Your link led me to a 'broken' site.

Ilse Bing was a truly gifted photographer. who (oddly) seems to be little known outside the USA. I saw an exhibition of her work in the late '00s in, as I recall, Boston. Which greatly impressed.

(added later) Noted the link has been fixed. Thanks!!

The video on the Met Museum website, covering many of the photographers in the show, was great.

It appears Lee Miller is found elsewhere.

Ilse Bing acquired a Leica I in 1931 and proceeded to show what could be done with that revolutionary design in Paris and New York. I had the good fortune to find Larisa Dryansky's biography of Bing at a used bookstore in Albuquerque a couple years ago. The collection of photographs edited by Edwynn Houk is extraordinary. I posted a review of the book on my blog.
