Martin Munkácsi, Three Boys at Lake Tanganyika, Liberia, 1929-30.
Apparently, this photograph is what inspired Henri Cartier-Bresson to become a photographer.

this is incredible. if you’d told me this was from ~1950, I would’ve still considered it groundbreaking.

It's a stunner. I've posted it many times but I was just looking at Martin Munkácsi's work and fell in love all over again.

I don't know. I wonder if there's more than one lake with that name.

I was born and raised in Liberia. Google earth informs me that lake borders Tanzania. Beautiful photo. Thanks for sharing

The listing says Liberia but I'm not longer sure. Thanks.

Those waves make it look like the ocean, not a lake, so possibly Liberia is right and the lake wrong. Doesnt really matter though - The photo is transcendent
