Description

"This monograph is dedicated to the career of Esther Bubley, one of America's leading photojournalists. Bubley's mentor was Roy Stryker, for whom she worked at the Office of War Information in Washington, D.C., and at Standard Oil in New York City. Under Stryker, Bubley learned to document the spectacle of modern industry and the lives of ordinary people in a fast-changing world. From the early 1940s to the late 60s, she also freelanced for national magazines, producing forty photo-essays for Life, a dozen more for the Ladies' Home Journal and numerous projects for non-profit organizations and major corporations alike." "The narrative essay by Bonnie Yochelson explains the working life of a photojournalist during the pre-television era, when picture magazines dominated the national media. The book includes seventy-five of her finest images as well as contact sheets and magazine layouts, which illustrate how Bubley's photographs were originally seen by millions of Americans."--BOOK JACKET.
