Rangoon, has the same pitch and key, each saying. "I am ! I have come through
Carl Sandburg • belong! I am a member of the Family."

Many the babies and grownups here from photographs made in sixty-eight
nations round our planet Earth. You travel and see what the camera saw. The
wonder of human mind, heart, wit and instinct, is here. You might catch your-
self saying. "Tm not a stranger here."

People! flung wide and far, born into toil, struggle, blood and dreams,
among lovers, eaters, drinkers, workers, loafers, fighters, players, gamblers.
Here are ironworkers, bridgemen. musicians, sandhogs. miners, builders of
huts and skyscrapers, jungle hunters, landlords and the landless, the loved and
the unloved, the lonely and abandoned, the brutal and the compassionate— one
big faniilv hugging close to the ball of Earth for its life and being.

Here or there you may witness a startling harmony where you say. "This
will be haunting me a long time with a loveliness I hope to understand better."

In a seething of saints and sinners, winners or losers, in a womb of super-

stition, faith, genius, crime, sacrifice, here is the People, the one and only source
of armies, navies, work-gangs, the living flowing breath of the history of
nations, ever lighted by the realit\ or illusion of hope. Hope is a sustaining
human gift.

Everywhere is love and love-making, weddings and babies from generation

to generation keeping the Family of Man alive and continuing. Everywhere
the sun. moon and stars, the climates and weathers, have meanings for people.
Though meanings vary, we are alike in all couiitries and tribes in trying to
read what sk\ . land and sea sa) to us. Alike and ever alike we are on all conti-
nents in the need of love, food, clothing, work, speech, worship, sleep, games,
dancing, fun. From tropics to arctics humanity lives with these needs so alike,
so inexorably alike.

Hands here, hands gnarled as thorntree roots and others soft as faded rose
leaves. Hands reaching, praying and groping, hands holding tools, torches,
brooms, fishnets, hands doubled in fists of flaring anger, hands moving in
caress of beloved faces. The hands and feet of children playing ring-around-
a-rosy— countries and languages different but the little ones alike in playing
the same game.

Here are set forth babies arriving, suckling, growing into youths restless
and (juestioniiig. Then as grownups they seek and hope. They mate. toil. fish,

quarrel, sing, fight, pray, on all parallels and meridians having likeness. The
earliest man. ages ago, had tools, weapons, cattle, as seen in his cave drawings.
And like him the latest man of our day has his tools, weapons, cattle. The earliest
man struggled through inexpressibly dark chaos of hunger, fear, violence, sex.
A long journey it has been from that early Family of Man to the one of today
which has become a still more prodigious spectacle.

H the human face is "the masterpiece of God" it is here then in a thousand

fateful registrations. Often the faces speak what words can never sa\. Some
tell of eternity and others only the latest tattlings. Child faces of blossom smiles
or mouths of hunger are followed bv homely faces of majesty carved and worn
bv love, praver and hope, along with others light and carefree as thistledown
in a late summer wind. Faces having land and sea on them, faces honest as the
morning sun flooding a clean kitchen with light, faces crooked and lost and
wondering where to go this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Faces in crowds.

laughing and windblown leaf faces, profiles in an instant of agony, mouths in

a dumbshow mockery lacking speech, faces of music in gay song or a twist of
pain, a hate ready to kill, or calm and ready-for-death faces. Some of them are
worth a long look now and deep contemplation later. Faces betokening a serene
blue sky or faces dark with storm winds and lashing night rain. And faces
beyond forgetting, written over with faiths in men and dreams of man sur-
passing himself. An alphabet here and a nmltiplication table of living breath-
ing human faces.

In the times to come as the past there will be generations taking hold as
though loneliness and the genius of struggle has always dwelt in the hearts of
pioneers. To the question, "What will the story be of the Family of Man
across the near or far future?" some would reply. "For the answers read if you
can the strange and baffling eyes of youth."

There is only one man in the world

and his name is All Men.
There is only one woman in the world
and her name is All Women.
There is only one child in the world
and the child's name is All Children.

A camera testament, a drama of the grand canyon of humanity, an epic

woven of fun, mystery and holiness— here is the Family of Man! QuJ SctU ^luA^i ^
 I believe The Family of Man exhibition, produced and shown first at the
Introduction by
Museum of Modern Art in New York and now being circulated throughout the
world, is the most ambitious and challenging project photography has ever
Edward Steichen attempted.
The exhibition, now permanently presented on the pages of this book,
demonstrates that the art of photography is a dynamic process of giving form
to ideas and of explaining man to man. It was conceived as a mirror of the
universal elements and emotions in the everydayness of life — as a mirror of
the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world.
We sought and selected photographs, made in all parts of the world, of the
gamut of life from birth to death with emphasis on the daily relationships of
man to himself, to his familv. to the community and to the world we live in-
subject matter ranging from babies to philosophers, from the kindergarten
to the university, from primitive peoples to the Councils of the United Nations.
Photographs of lovers and marriage and child-bearing, of the family unit with
its jovs. trials and tribulations, its deep-rooted devotions and its antagonisms.

Photographs of the home in all its warmth and magnificence, its heartaches
and exaltations. Photographs of the individual and the familv unit in its re-
 ''s photograph of the entrance into the enhibit. Paul Rudolph wos the architec

actions to the beginnings of life and continuing on through death and burial.
Photographs concerned with man in relation to his environment, to the beauty
and richness of the earth he has inherited and what he has done with this
inheritance, the good and the great things, the stupid and the destructive things.
Photographs concerned with the religious rather than religions. With basic
human consciousness rather than social consciousness. Photographs concerned
with man's dreams and aspirations and photographs of the flaming creative
forces of love and truth and the corrosive evil inherent in the lie.

For almost three years we have been searching for these images. Over two
million photographs from every corner of the earth have come to us — from
individuals, collections, and files. We screened them until we had ten thousand.
Caroline Hommarskioltj
Then came the almost unbearable task of reducing these to .503 photographs
from 6(5 countries.The photographers who tooic them — 273 men and women —
are amateurs and professionals, famed and unknowTi.
All of this could not have been accomplished without the dedicated efforts

of mv a.ssistant, Wavne Miller, and the tireless devotion of our staff.

The Family of Man has been created in a passionate spirit of devoted love
and faith in man.
