Original photograph of Edward R. Murrow, circa 1950s

New York: N.p., Circa 1950s. Vintage borderless matte finish photograph of broadcast journalist and war correspondent Edward R. Murrow smoking a cigarette on the set of the "CBS Evening News," circa 1950s. PIX agency stamp on the verso crediting photographer Ed Feingersh, along with the stamp of the Westport Public Library.

In spite of his misgivings about the new medium, Murrow agreed to begin appearing in editorial segments on the "CBS Evening News" in the early 1950s, and his radio show, "Hear It Now," moved to television in 1951.

Photographer Ed Feingersh worked prolifically as a photojournalist throughout the 1950s, and is best remembered today for his photographs of Marilyn Monroe for "Redbook" magazine. His collection is today held in the archives of "Life" magazine and Getty Images.

From the archive of the PIX Agency, a photo house that acted as an intermediary between émigré photographers (as well as those still living in Europe) and the American magazine and newspaper market between 1935-1969.
