Sorry, I don’t think that was very useful ….. not really a ‘famous photo’ 🙄

How about this one – it’s very famous. John F. Kenndy, Jr. saluting his father’s coffin at his state funeral :

Famous, greif, loss, with a fair size dose of horror thrown in…

Bit random?

Here’s the backstory for those who are interested..
LOLRUS

a more sensible option:

My mates gota framed original of that Banksy. It’s worth a small fortune now!

For grief, the first thing that comes to mind is Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother.

For grief, the first thing that comes to mind is Dorothea Lange’s Migrant Mother

It’s a great photo, but that makes me think more of worry / fear than grief.

Weegee’s later stuff? Anything by Sebastiao Salgado would fit the bill…. Don Mccullins work…..

Last Of England by Ford Madox Brown?

This painting by Thomas Faed ~ The Last of the Clan of the highland clearances.

Would have suggested some of Salgado’s work, but that’s been done. Otherwise, the most obvious (and probably not posted for that reason).
