1944. Unbound. Fine. Ten matted black and white photos. Measuring 11" x 14". Fine fresh photos in near fine mats with some toning, scattered wear at the corners, and ink dates (some written over existing pencil dates). All Signed by Jacobi on the mounts. A collection of photos of the wife and children of Milton Wolff, a social activist and the ninth commander of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade of North American volunteers who served during the Spanish Civil War. Jacobi, an émigré who fled Hitler's Germany, was a prolific photographer known for her portraiture of the most important people of her time including, to name just a few, Albert Einstein, Marc Chagall, Paul Robeson, Robert Frost, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the iconic photo of J.D. Salinger that appears on the first edition of *The Catcher in the Rye*. The portraits here were taken in late June of 1944 while Milton Wolff was overseas fighting in World War II. The pictures feature two shots of Anne Wolff; two of her daughter; five of her daughter and son; and one of all three together. Each a wonderful example of Jacobi's work as a photographer.
