Original glossy double-weight gelatin silver print from negative, 14 x 11" (inclusive of margins, actual image area 11.75 x 10.75"). Numbered in pencil on verso. Small crease in extreme top edge in margin, a few minor signs of printing or negative blemishes, otherwise about fine. An original print of one of the sequence of superb photographs taken by Yousuf Karsh on location in South Africa during the filming of the 1964 Diamond Films production, ZULU, directed by Cy Endfield. Karsh's invitation to join the production and photograph the cast and locale resulted in a sequence of photographs of a very high order. The present image is a strong portrait of a Zulu tribesman in tribal dress, holding a spear, and with an extraordinary feathered head dress. The image is identified as "No. 322" in the series. Although this project is not as widely known as Karsh's formal portraiture, examples of the resulting images have featured prominently in both museum and print retrospectives of his career.
