It would be one of Gandhi's final meetings before the leader's assassination at the hands of a Hindu nationalist on January 30. The resulting photos of Gandhi's last day of life and the events surrounding his funeral helped catapult Cartier-Bresson to international fame.

It was in another visit to the U.S. in the seventies that she met some of her most loyal collaborators.
