The most successful exhibition of photography ever assembled, The Family of Man opened at New York's Museum of Modern Art in January of 1955. The permanent embodiment of Edward Steichen's monumental exhibition, this book reproduces all 503 images he described as "a mirror of the essential oneness of humankind throughout the world. Photographs made in all parts of the world, of the gamut of life from birth to death." A classic, inspiring work, The Family of Man has been in print for over fifty years. The NY Times stated it "symbolizes the universality of human emotions." First produced by a magazine publisher & sold by the hundreds of thousands on newsstands & in airport shops, The Family of Man has been in more recent years republished by the Museum. It's been continuously in print since 1955.
