W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

Shot by one of my idols the great Robert Capa, who is reputed to be responsible for introducing Nikon to the West. As well as starting the famous Magnum Agency. Apparently he picked up a Nikon F on his travels during the early years of the second world war.
The amazing thing about this shot from Life Magazine is the fact that they mention that Capa shot 106 pics on this landing in Normandy, and all but 10 were ruined by the Lab.

“General Electric engineers and scientists are helping your Armed Forces to develop rocket leadership.
“Designing and testing such missiles is unbelievably complex. New metals for better rocket motors and better fuels for those motors are being perfected. Super-accurate instruments to steer the missile in flight are being designed. Miles of film must record all the test firings. These are jobs in which industry can, and does provide much help. G.E., for example, has been test firing rocket motors since 1945. . .
“In a short space of time, engineers have sent rockets to previously unattainable heights. Rockets in this country have flown to a height of 250 miles at a speed of over 5,000 miles per hour. . .” [From the ad copy]

During the 1920s, his colorful portrayals of flippant "flapper" girls and jaunty "Joe College" boys appeared in such magazines as Judge, The New Yorker, College Humor, Harper's Bazaar. His designs, such as this magazine cover depicting a coolly coquettish girl and a gawky, grinning guy, helped delineate a carefree, confident image of American society.

Examples of his graphic work form part of the Library's Cabinet of American Illustration, a national collection of original drawings by generations of leading artists, illustrators, and cartoonists.

No other person at the Algonquin Round Table loomed larger over the group than Robert E. Sherwood. When the group started meeting in June 1919, he was a Harvard graduate and combat veteran of World War I. Sherwood was a writer briefly on Vanity Fair, before moving to the original Life humor magazine. In his late twenties he got serious about writing plays. Sherwood went on to win four Pulitzers: three for Broadway dramas and one non-fiction award for a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sherwood was a longtime New Yorker who loved the theater and working with actors; but he was very political and that always showed in his work.
