Life Magazine was perhaps the greatest periodical of
photojournalism in history. It was published weekly from Nov. 23, 1936
until Dec. 29, 1972. It was the official showplace of most of the
photographers that are now household names in the field. The selection
of powerful photographs below, many well known and many not, have been
expertly printed in the Life lab, and signed by the photographers, with
few exceptions. Most were made and signed in the 1970s and kept in
archival storage. They are definite collector's pieces, and some are
quite reasonable. Photographers shown: Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971), Ed Clark (1911-2000), Loomis Dean (1917-2005, Alfred Eisenstaedt (1898-1995), Andreas Feininger (1906-1999), Martha Holmes (1923-2006), John Loengard (1934-2020), Carl Mydans (1907-2004), Joe Rosenthal (1911-2006) Availablity and prices are subject to change.
