A propos de cet article

JOSEPH STALIN GRAVELY ILL – ORIGINAL FOX PHOTOS PRESS PHOTOGRAPH ISSUED 4 MARCH 1953, THE DAY BEFORE HIS DEATH. Original vintage black-and-white press photograph. London: Fox Photos Ltd, 4 March 1953. 20.1 × 25.4 cm. Very Good. An historically significant original press photograph depicting Joseph Stalin (1878–1953), issued on the day the Soviet government publicly acknowledged his critical illness and just one day before his death. The photograph presents a striking head-and-shoulders portrait of the Soviet dictator in his characteristic military-style tunic, with strong tonal contrast and excellent facial detail. Of particular importance is the original typed Fox Photos caption preserved on the reverse, headed "MARSHAL STALIN GRAVELY ILL" and dated 4 March 1953. The caption reports that Stalin had suffered a cerebral haemorrhage, resulting in paralysis of his right arm and leg and the loss of speech, and that the Soviet leader had failed to respond to medical treatment. During the night of 1–2 March 1953 Stalin had suffered a catastrophic stroke, but the Soviet authorities withheld public confirmation of his condition until 4 March. His death followed at 9.50 p.m. Moscow time on 5 March 1953, initiating a struggle for political succession and ultimately leading to the emergence of Nikita Khrushchev and the subsequent process of de-Stalinisation. The photograph is especially interesting because it was issued before Stalin's death was publicly announced, making it a contemporary document of the uncertainty surrounding his final illness rather than a later obituary photograph. The reverse retains the original magenta Fox Photos Ltd agency stamp, giving the company's address at 69–71 Farringdon Road, London EC1, together with the typed news caption and agency reference HP 61830. These original markings provide valuable evidence of the photograph's contemporary press circulation. The image itself is an earlier portrait issued as a recent photograph in March 1953. Very Good vintage condition, with strong photographic contrast, minor surface marks and small corner creases. The reverse shows expected age toning and handling marks, with the original caption and agency stamp clearly preserved. Photographs form part of the description. A desirable piece of original twentieth-century political press photography relating directly to the death of Stalin and the early Cold War. Stock Reference: 004287.…
