The Family of Man (30th Anniversary Edition) - Paperback
Created by Edward Steichen, with a prologue by Carl Sandburg
Hailed as the most successful exhibition of photography ever assembled, The Family of Man opened at The Museum of Modern Art, New York in January 1955. Originally published in that same year, this classic and inspiring book is the permanent embodiment of Edward Steichen's monumental exhibition.
In print for more than sixty years, it reproduces all of the 503 images that Steichen described as "a mirror of the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world. Photographs made in all parts of the world, of the gamut of life from birth to death." First produced by a magazine publisher and sold in hundreds of thousands on newsstands and in airport shops, the book has been published by The Museum of Modern Art in more recent years.
This thirtieth-anniversary edition was prepared from original photographs with all new duotone plates in 1986. 224 pp.; 200 illus.
