8x10.5 Vintage B&W photograph signed "To Jim Wiggins from David Schoenbrun Paris March 1960" in blue ballpoint ink. Creasing throughout the photograph, light wear, otherwise in good condition. (1915-1988) David Schoenbrun began his career teaching French. Schoenbrun enlisted in the Army in 1943 and became a World War II correspondent covering North Africa through to the liberation of France, for which he was decorated with the Croix de Guerre and the Legion of Honour. Schoenbrun was recruited to Camp Ritchie for his knowledge of French and is considered to be one of the Ritchie Boys. After the war, from 1947 to 1964, Schoenbrun worked for CBS, serving primarily as the network's bureau chief in Paris, where he met and interviewed President Charles de Gaulle a number of times. He was one of the reporters known as Murrow's Boys. In 1959, at the age of 44, Schoenbrun received the Alfred I. duPont Award. From the 1960s through the 1980s, Schoenbrun served as a news analyst for WNEW Radio in New York (now WBBR) and other Metromedia broadcast properties, and later for crosstown WPIX Television and its Independent Network News operation. In the mid-1970s, he served as a foreign affairs analyst for a short-lived public television channel in Los Angeles. Schoenbrun is the author of On and Off the Air, a personal account of the history of CBS News through the 1970s. Schoenbrun also wrote several books concerning World War II-era France and other works drawn from his experiences as a newsman.This lot came from the Jim Wiggins collection we purchased in July 2022.
