The photograph was taken by photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson during his visit to the ZIS car factory in Moscow. ZIS is an acronym for “Factory named for Stalin” and it was a major Soviet automobile, truck, military vehicle, and heavy equipment manufacturer. The factory also produced luxury armored cars for most Soviet leaders.
Henri Cartier-Bresson was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism, an early adopter of 35 mm format, and the master of candid photography. He helped develop the “street photography” style that has influenced generations of photographers that followed.
In 1954, Henri Cartier-Bresson boarded a train to Moscow, visas and governmental permission in hand, and took a book’s worth of photographs of Soviet people doing ordinary things. He was the first Western photographer to be allowed to visit the Soviet Union after the death of Josef Stalin, in 1953.
