12. 1936 Loyalist Militiaman at the
Moment of Death by Robert
Capa
This picture caused a stir when
it was published in French
magazine Vu, and, it has been
argued, even helped strengthen
the Republican cause. Some
regarded it as a symbol of anti-
Fascism, others as a more
universal anti-war statement.
Either way, the political
implications of photography
were fast being realized.

13. Sudanese child with a
vulture by Kevin Carter
This Pulitzer Prize-winning
picture of a vulture waiting
to feed on a dying toddler
in Sudan summed up the
cruelty of the famine in
Sudan. It also, famously,
highlighted the plight of the
photographer; within three
months of gaining
recognition for this
photograph, Kevin Carter
committed suicide.
