Tarawa
Series
This series contains 24 small black and white photographs depicting Japanese soldiers surrendering to American Marines, and the daily life of Pacific Islanders on an unidentified atoll in the Marshall Islands. While a number of these pictures have typed captions glued on the bottom of the print, the names of people given in the captions are mostly satirical. This series also includes photographs of dead bodies after a battle, and some negatives.
