Handsome and collectible, the books each contain some sixty reproductions in color and/or duotone, plus a critical introduction and a bibliography.<br /><br />Magnum was the first cooperative photo agency, created by the photographers themselves.

Magnum photographers are united in their basic understanding of journalism and a humanistic view of their fellow beings.
