The Richard James Galleries in Charleston, SC, Presents Iconic Photographic Images of the 20th Century
Joe Rosenthal
The Richard James Galleries
in Charleston, SC, is pleased to announce the exhibition and sale
of photographs from the world's most important archives of photographic
images. This exhibition includes some of the most highly recognized
and beloved images ever taken including the signed Pulitzer Prize-winning
photograph of the Flag Raising at Iwo Jima by Joe Rosenthal. Beginning
in 1936, LIFE was the first published magazine to focus
on photojournalism, revolutionizing American culture by becoming
a weekly custom of visual intimacy throughout American households,
and indeed the world.

The LIFE Gallery
of Photography represents a collection of some of these photographs:
the most recognized and historical images of the 20th Century
that continue to influence us generations later. The Associated
Press is the world's oldest and largest newsgathering organization
and has a photo archive comprised of over 60 million images. The
Associated Press has been honored with the Pulitzer Prize for
Photography 28 times since the inception of this award; some of
which are exhibited for the first time in Charleston through this
inaugural exhibition at the Richard James Galleries.
Nat Fein
Nat Fein is world-renowned
for his touching, humorous and compelling photographs. A press
photographer for the New York Herald Tribune for thirty-three
years, Fein is well-known for his ability to capture the soul
of a bygone era in New York City. Fein won the Pulitzer Prize
in 1949 for what is arguably the most celebrated photograph in
sports history, The Babe Bows Out, exclusively offered
here as a 20" x 24" limited edition photograph.
The National Geographic Collection is comprised of images from
the photographic archives of The National Geographic Society,
one of the world's largest nonprofit scientific and educational
organizations. On exhibit at the gallery are works by Annie Griffiths
Belt, featured in her book LAST STAND: Americas Virgin Lands,
which documents the landscape of America in exquisite hand-tinted
color photographs.
