JOHN LE CARRE - Photo by G. CICOGNA Portrait of the master spy..., 1970s. Silver gelatin print on vintage card stock, stamped and annotated (including the photographer's credit) on the back. 19.7 x 20.8 cm. Note: This photograph from the 1970s features John le Carré, one of the most famous spy novelists of the 20th century. A former member of the British intelligence services, he profoundly revitalized the genre by infusing it with psychological, political, and realistic dimensions that broke with traditional portrayals of the heroic spy. The author of novels that have become classics—such as *The Spy Who Came in from the Cold*, *The Mole*, and *Smiley’s People*—he established himself as a keen observer of Cold War tensions and the workings of power. Taken by photographer G. Cicogna, this portrait bears witness to the international fame the writer had achieved at a time when his works were enjoying considerable success with both the public and critics. This vintage print is thus a fascinating document dedicated to one of the major figures of contemporary literature.
