Cornell Capa had a long career as a photojournalist, starting at Life magazine.  He was also a founder of New York's International Center of Photography.  Joining Capa in that endeavor was Lester Wunderman (1920-2019), a notable photographer in his own right.  Wunderman, to whom Capa inscribed this copy of his book, is known as the creator of modern-day direct marketing.
