If you enjoy photographs from the past, then this book will be of interest. The book is titled Life The First Decade. The book was published in 1979. It covers a small part of the collection of photographs taken the first ten years of Life Magazines publication 1936-1945. The photographs taken during and after World War II are very sad reminders of that time.
