Portraits of Power by Platon

Wednesday, December 2, 2009

The New Yorker has published 44 portraits of world leaders taken by Platon during the U.N. General Assembly meeting in September. They include leaders great and small, ranging from the president of Kiribati to Silvio Berlusconi of Italy and Asif Zardari of Pakistan.
