    Summary note
    "Magnum Photos, founded in 1947 by Henry Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Georges Rodger, David “Chim” Seymour, and Bill Vandivert, is one of the most famous photography agencies in the world. Until recently, an exhibition curated by L. Fritz Gruber for the 1956 photokina in Cologne was considered the earliest Magnum group show. However, more than 50 years later, an even earlier exhibition has been rediscovered. This is the first publication in Italy to provide a complete documentation of this exhibition. A total of eighty-three vintage prints by eight Magnum photographers – Werner Bischof, Henry Cartier-Bresson, Robert Capa, Ernst Haas, Erich Lessing, Jean Marquis, Inge Morath, and Marc Riboud – are feature in large-format reproductions. The exhibitions’s main theme was “photographic humanism”: people and their everyday surroundings, photographed without any kind of sensationalism by committed photojournalists, who believed in educating and bettering the world through their authentic documents." -- Book jacket.
