Description
Handsome and collectible, the books each contain some sixty reproductions in color and/or duotone, plus a critical introduction and a bibliography.
Magnum was the first cooperative photo agency, created by the photographers themselves. It owes its reputation to the quality of its members, who never ignore the guiding principle of the agency’s founders: solidarity in respect for the individual. Magnum photographers are united in their basic understanding of journalism and a humanistic view of their fellow beings.
