Signed First Day Cover.
This German-born American photojournalist shot close to 90 "Life" magazine front covers, and is often remembered for his memorable image of a sailor kissing a woman in Times Square on V-J day. Signed First Day Cover, 6½" X 3½", cancelled in Washington, DC on 1971 May 7 and with "First Day of Issue" boldly stamped. Single 16-cent "Ernie Pyle Journalist" stamp at upper right. Fine. Near the center, Eisenstaedt signs boldly in black fineline. With original transmittal envelope. Eisenstaedt's closeup portrait of a grim Pyle is perhaps the best-known portrait of the famed World War Two journalist. Item #25521
