Question: What was that famous photo essay!.!.!.!.!?
I think it was done in the 1970's, possibly earlier!. It was a black and white collection of photos of people from all over the world!. It was a male photographer, and it traveled all over the U!.S!., if my memory is correct, as a collection of large photographs!. It was later published in a book!. I had a small paperback of it once, and don't know what happened to it!.!.!. (probably loaned it, never to be seen again)!.

That's all I can remember, other than I remember some of the individual photos, but to describe them here wouldn't help I don't think, and I might not describe them well anyway!.

It was very famous at the time!.

Please help if you can!. I've done searches, and not found it!. Thanks in advance!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The last photograph in the exhibition and the book was titled "Walk To Paradise Garden" and was taken by W!. Eugene Smith!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
