Edward Steichen’s World War I yearsarticle ALBUM OF WORLD WAR I PHOTOGRAPHS, 1918/19
Edward Steichen (American, born Luxembourg, 1879–1973) was one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century—a pioneering champion of art photography and an innovator of fashion and commercial photography.
