[ADAMS, Eddie (1933-2004), photographer]. “There’s No Place Like…” Press Photograph Featuring Two Elderly People in Their Home in King Island Village in Alaska. [San Francisco: Examiner Reference Library, October 30, 1970]. Black-and-white photograph of two people in their modest home. Approximately 257 x 204 mm. Occasional rubbing, creasing to photo, with Examiner inkstamps and printed caption affixed to verso. From the caption on verso: “Frank Imana and his wife sit together in their small home at King Island Village near Nome, Alaska. Life around Nome is all the more difficult in the face of real poverty and isolation added to the bitterness of the Arctic cold itself.” Adams was a prize-winning photojournalist for decades; he is perhaps most famous for his Pulitzer-Prize winning photo of the execution of Viet Cong prisoner Nguyen Van Lem during the Vietnam war, becoming one of the most influential photos taken of the Vietnam war.
