Mao Tse Tung first edition blk & white photo

This is a Mao Zedong's first edition picture, which is taken by Hou Bo, Mao Zedong's personal photographer. Hou Bo, a famous photographer, who is regarded as a'Red Photographer', is a full-time photographer in Zhongnanhai. During her nearly 30 years photography profession, she has taken innumerable Mao Zedong's precious pictures, such as «Founding Ceremony», «Chairman Mao in Shaoshan», etc. To the great extent, Hou Bo is living for Mao Zedong. She is Mao Zedong's only personal photographer.

In fact, the pictures of Mao Zedong were nearly taken by Hou Bo but it is seldom that there is his signature at the backside of the picture because according to the political situation at that time that everyone is extremely respectful to Mao Zedong that photographer's signature wasn't allowed. Which is the material collected by the newspaper office.
