A beautiful first edition, hardcover (12" x 8 1/2”, 30.5 x 22 cm) including sixty-two black and white photographs at a critical point in Chinese history. Tata and his colleague and mentor, Henri Cartier-Bresson, both witnessed the changing of the guard in Shanghai as Mao Zedong’s communist revolution swept through China and Shanghai.

Sam Tata later immigrated to Montreal, Canada in 1956 and went on to make portraits of some of our illustrious personages such as Irving Layton, Leonard Cohen, and Donald Sutherland among others. Tata died in British Columbia in 2005 at the age of 93 and the Canadian postal service subsequently honoured him with a permanent domestic stamp based on one of his photographs , Angels, Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day (1962), in 2015.
