Opening Reception for in Focus November 20, 2008

'In Focus' brings together a rare collection of black and white and color expressive portraits and scenes from around the world and here at home. This collection of outstanding images, shot from the early 20th century to the late 1990s, not only parallels the Society's interest in the ethnographic study of exotic lands, but also reveals the magazine's idealized view of domestic life in the United States during the Great Depression and World War II.
