This book is part of the Photography Library of Chris Steele-Perkins, reflecting his broad interest in and commitment to the field of photojournalism, similar to that of Alfred Eisenstaedt. Steele-Perkins, a prominent member of Magnum Photos, has himself made substantial contributions to documentary photography, focusing particularly on social issues within Britain and the developing world. His inclusion of Eisenstaedt's work in his personal library underscores an appreciation for photography that captures the essence of human experience with empathy and narrative depth. Through his role in Magnum, Steele-Perkins has not only developed his thematic and geographic focus but also continued the tradition of engaging with the world through the lens, much like Eisenstaedt. This connection highlights a shared lineage of capturing impactful, historic moments and personal stories through photography, uniting past and contemporary practices within the field. ; Folio .
