Vintage borderless photograph of Richard Nixon playing the piano in 1967. With the stamp of photographer Philippe Halsman on the verso, along with manuscript pencil annotations regarding cropping. Russian-born Halsman began working as a photographer in Paris in the 1930s, later moving to the US and producing reportage and covers for many major American magazines, including a substantial 101 covers for Life magazine. Halsman became well known in his later career for his "jump pictures," a playful series capturing mid-century celebrities such as Marilyn Monroe, the Ford family, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and Maria Felix in the act of jumping for the camera. 10.5 x 11.25 inches. Near Fine.
