He not only witnessed the fall of Nanking, he captured it. Paramount newsreel cameraman Arthur Menken used his camera to witness the carnage of this doomed city. There was looting, murder, executions of war prisoners...everything that turned Nanking into a city of terror. In this remarkable piece of original artwork from the Victory Gum (V-Gum)collection, the portrait of a well-groomed Arthur Menken is up front while he and his camera are capturing the carnage behind him. Ready for framing, this piece of original artwork measures 5 1/2” x 8”. A handwritten pencil marking that says “45” is on the lower right. On the left, the typeset name of Arthur Menken. The artwork consists of the heavy black ink drawing on a board. On top is a sheet of tracing paper with hand-painted color ink. This piece of artwork was used to create the final Victory Gum card. And now, after decades in the safe of artist Charles Steinbacher, this original piece of artwork has been uncovered and presented here for your collection.
