The Joy of Life

"In our trouble-filled world, what a relief it is to turn these pages."--the publisher. This is a book of happy pictures from a bygone era. A boy's first shave, a teen's first kiss, a couple's first child. According to the publisher, this is the most human, moving collection of photographs since The Family of Man was assembled. Like that exhibition, this anthology is a re-writing of history in cheerful, rosy colors.
