Companion Book
Married
with heartfelt prose by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Robert Coles
and a foreward by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington, When
They Were Young is a beautifully illustrated portrayal of
early life and the legacies that live on from coming of age. It
is a tribute to the hope and despair, the grace and indignity,
the playfulness and burden of childhood, and, through example,
it also offers us a better understanding of our own lives. When
They Were Young reveals that experience of childhood is connected
across time through a broadening presentation of eloquent images.
Spanning the history of photography from the daguerreotype to
the documentary, each tritone image in this volume is illustrated
on a full page. Works by internationally renowned photographers
such as Edward Curtis and Dorothea Lange are included.
