3.5 out of 5

The famous portrait of Salvador Dali for LIFE magazine by Philippe Halsman in a “making of” version: this version has a wider crop than the published versions, showing the assistant holding the chair, the prop that lifts the stool, and the wires used to hold the picture and the easel in place (in fact the frame on the easel is still empty). Wet spots from some of the many previous attempts (28 in total — that’s 84 thrown cats) can also be seen on the floor.
