Robert Capa, the legendary photo journalist who was considered by many as ‘The Legend’ had a hidden treasure that was recently revealed. Capa’s “Mexican Suitcase,” three flimsy cardboard valises containing thousands of negatives of pictures that Capa and others took during the Spanish Civil War before he fled Europe for America in 1939, has now been opened.
