Scarce, brief catalogue of works by Theo Jung (1906-1996), who joined Ben Shahn on the photographic staff of the FSA in 1936. In the 1940s Jung independently produced a series of documentary photographs of Harper's Ferry, West Virginia which are now in the Library of Congress. The current catalog was produced for a Jung exhibition in Vienna in 1976; it includes about a dozen photographs from his FSA period, a few images from his Harper's Ferry series, and a number of later works.
