This historic portfolio presents some of the strongest photos of David Seymour
(Chim) (1911-1956). Chim was a founder of Magnum Photos (with Robert Capa and Henri Cartier-Bresson) in 1947 and one of the leading photojournalists of the 20th century. The photos were selected by Cornell Capa, who supervised their production in 1982.
