EUGENY KHALDEI Red Flag Over Reichstag, Berlin 1945 / printed 1980's Gelatin silver print 10 ½ x 15 in. Signed & dated in pencil on print verso $ 1,800
			Note: This is an unusual version of the famous photograph because it is a straight, unmanipulated photograph.  In most others, Khaldai altered the sky to depict a smouldering city, adding drama to the photograph.  Also evident in this version, the officer in the bottom right of the image is shown to have a watch on each arm (obviously removed from fallen German soldiers).  When this first appeared in Pravda, the photographer was instructed to remove one of the watches because it showed "conduct unbecoming of an officer".  Consequently most in other versions the officer's left arm has been heavily darkened
