Pioneering American photographer and photojournalist (1904–1971) whose iconic photo of the Fort Peck Dam graced the first cover of Life magazine. ALS, one page both sides, 7.25 x 11, Life letterhead, September 29, 1951. Letter written at the bottom and on the reverse of a short TLS to Jane Morris, with the TLS signed “M.B.W.,” and the ALS signed “Margaret Bourke-White.” Also reads, in part: “I’m working on a helicopter story now—with the Navy, Coast Guard, Sikorsky, Hillen, & others, & am leaving tomorrow for the West Coast. It’s a fascinating assignment & I love photographing from helicopters, altho one went down with me into Chesapeake Bay at a Navy Air Base a short while ago. Lost 5 cameras—but none the worse otherwise.” Toning along one edge on reverse and a couple small pencil notations, otherwise fine condition.
