Krushchev by Karsh in LIFE magazine September 13, 1963
Toronto. One of our most famous portrait photographers of all time was Karsh of Ottawa. Some members strive to collect portraits taken by Karsh. One member – Shelton Chen – even wrote and published a book of Karsh Portraits.
In 1963, LIFE magazine in New York devoted an entire issue to Russia. Beginning on page 72 of this September 13, 1963 issue is the essay and portraits captured by the great man, Yousuf Karsh.
My thanks to George Dunbar for unearthing this exciting issue, fresh in 1963, just weeks before the tragic death of president John F Kennedy and his replacement by vice-president Lyndon B Johnson.
