The Fein Story Behind the Pictures: A Revealing Look at the Famous Images of Pulitzer Prize Photographer Nat Fein

Nat Fein was an inventive press photographer at the New York Herald Tribune from 1933 to 1966. Albert Einstein, Ty Cobb, Queen Elizabeth, and Harry S. Truman were among the many icons photographed by the insightful eye of Nat Fein. He won more press photo awards than any of his contemporaries. Although considered to be one of the greatest human interest photographers in journalism, he carried the distinction of having taken 'the most celebrated photograph in sports history' (NY Times 1992). Fein's dramatic Babe Ruth image was the first sports picture to win a Pulitzer Prize. With his Speed Graphic camera and his unconventional knack for communicating through pictures, Fein captured the soul of a bygone era in New York. A compilation of short stories, historical accounts, and 118 photos with descriptions will offer insight into the remarkable and compelling images of Nat Fein.
