I notice having done a search that the most recent edition of the Family of
Man book they went back to the original photography and re made the plates
and duotones and it looks much better now.

I think I might just order one.

Looks like a bunch of 30x40s mounted on boards, no glass!
Traveling exhibitions! Glass breaks!


Dorothea Lange, Robert Capra, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Jack Delano, Margaret
Bourke-White, Esther Bubley, Bert Hardy, Edward Weston, Matthew Brady, Frank
Scherschel, Wayne Miller, Eva Arnold, Irving Penn, Consuelo Kanaga, Alfred
Eisenstaedt, Bill Brandt, Russell Lee, Carl Mydans, Ben Shahn and Marion
Palfi

That's a hard act to follow!


And our FOM2 done all with Leicas! I almost don't even like that!
