Lot Essay

The present lot is a print made for publicity related to the exhibition Family of Man presented by The Museum of Modern Art in 1955. Throughout the history of the Museum’s Photography Department, primarily from the 1930s through the 1970s, photographers contributing works to exhibitions would oftentimes provide the Museum with multiple prints of the works selected for exhibition. These additional prints would be used for various exhibition-related affairs, most often for being sent to the press for publicity. Such prints were sometimes provided by the photographer and other times printed at the Museum from original negatives.
