So Many Worlds: A Photographic Record of Our Time

This beautiful collection draws upon the archives of the renowned Swiss magazine du to present a visual history of the Twentieth century through the eyes of its finest photojournalists. Images by lesser-known photographers compliment the well-known works by Robert Capa, Robert Frank, Ernst Haas, André Kertész, Dorothea Lange, Danny Lyon, and many others. Claudio Magris' thoughtful essay traces the connections between the fleeting moment captured in an image and its role as a historical document.
