Capa cache uncovered


A suitcase full of lost Robert Capa negatives, shot during the Spanish Civil war, has been recovered according to the New York Times. The case is also believed to contain images by Gerda Taro, the love of Capa's life, who died tragically when she was runover by a tank in 1938.
