It was the alert, somewhat sensational Graphic that introduced to the English-speaking Press Dr. Erich Salomon and his "Candid Camera." The Graphic devoted less attention than the Illustrated London News to archaeology, Egyptology; more to unique photography. Also it combed the world's Press for items characteristic of national foibles, reprinted them with little or no comment as the American Mercury presents its "Americana...
