"Yousuf Karsh (1908 - ?) is a legend - the classic portrait artist of the camera, photographer of the world's great. To be 'Karshed' as one of his subjects described it, has been a sign of personal accomplshment for a third of a century...Here in one volume are forty-eight memorable photographic portraits from the Karsh portfolio. They form an imposing cross-section of the figures who have shaped our public life and the private world of mind. Some of the faces are familiar: the qualities of greatness that make a Churchill, a Shaw, a Hemingway, an Einstein, a Casals, a Sibelius, a Giacometti or a Schweitzer, are not so common that they can be eclipsed even within a full generation" (cited from the cover-text).
