The photographic archives surrounding two iconic war images have recently been discovered. In December of 2006, the Wall Street Journal tracked down the anonymous photographer of a Pulitzer-winning photograph of a 1979 execution in Iran. Now we learn that a suitcase full of negatives by Robert Capa of the Spanish Civil War have been discovered in Mexico City.
These two images have kept people searching for decades, trying to the find the stories behind the photos:
1979 Iranian Execution by Jahangir Razmi
The Falling Soldier by Robert Capa (Spanish Civil War)
