This anthology is the most comprehensive collection of LIFE photography ever published, showcasing the best work from every staff photographer associated with the iconic magazine, along with contributions from a select few others. The photographers were the heart of LIFE, and this collection offers a vivid portrait of their contributions. It features over 100 portfolios from renowned photographers such as Alfred Eisenstaedt, Margaret Bourke-White, Carl Mydans, Gordon Parks, W. Eugene Smith, Robert Capa, and many more, including Joe McNally, whose post-September 11 work exemplifies the magazine's legacy. Each portfolio includes a brief biography, providing insight into the lives of these talented individuals. The collection captures defining moments of the 20th century, from MacArthur's landing to Capa's D-Day images and Eisenstaedt's iconic sailor kissing the nurse. It includes groundbreaking photographs from inside the womb and outer space, as well as powerful scenes from Tiananmen Square and the Civil Rights movement in America. LIFE immortalized icons like Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles, and Michael Jackson, and their unforgettable images are included. This new paperback edition offers an affordable way to own stunning reproductions of some of the most memorable photographs in history, presented in both black and white and full color.
