Celebrated Canadian photographer (1908–2002) best known for his portraits of the leading cultural, scientific, and political figures of his time, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, and Ernest Hemingway. ALS, two pages, 6.25 x 8.25, personal letterhead, September 14, 1966. Letter to Marshall Bean who was battling an illness. In part: “I experienced it while my beloved first wife, Solange, was dying. She derived a great deal of comfort from her faith, and in so doing, she made everyone around her stronger, too. In my youth, I experienced oppression and persecution at the hands of the Turks, and many in my family suffered greatly or were massacred. During these dark days of World War I I lived a constant nightmare, from which there seemed to be no release. Only the faith which my mother installed in me kept me going. It was a miracle to me when my faith seemed to be rewarded when I came to the new world. I am glad that your own faith is strong, and please consider my hand clasped in yours in friendship.” In fine condition. Karsh and his family endured harsh treatment by the Ottoman Empire, including the death of his sister.
