"The Print" by Time-Life

When I was a young boy my window into the photographic world was books, and there was one book that I really loved: "The Print." It was one of several in the Time-Life photography series that introduced me to the great masters of photography.

For 170 years, the print was the only way one could view a photograph. If you didn't print it, it couldn't be seen. Some even would argue that if you didn't print it, it wasn't yet a photograph.
