Subject: [Leica] Now most reproduced image was "Che Guevara" booklet PDF

My guess - and I stress guess - is that the only three that belong on
the list are Che, Armstrong, and earth rise...and actually, now that I
think about it, the space shot that's probably gotten the most mileage
is the "big blue marble" photo of earth from space....

I think those of us who appreciate photography tend to think that what
we consider iconic images are among the most viewed images, and I don't
think that that's the case.

I know that the world's best selling photo books are those by the
Australian woman who shoots kids as vegetables...... ;-)

Funnily enough the Kiss at the Hotel de Ville was among my list, but it
really 
all depends on what you mean by reproduced.

My guesses:

Che - in all its forms
Armstrong on the Moon
Earth rise over the moon
Picnic by the Marne - HCB
Ile de la Cite - HCB
The last waltz - Doisneau
Kiss at the H-de-V


interesting - two HCBs, two by Doisneau
