Life, Look, Picture Post, Quick, and Kristall: there was a time when you could buy them at the corner newsstand and when they represented the most accessible, exciting, and up-to-date form of news available. Today, they are anachronistic, replaced by mass media such as television, newspapers, and the internet. But photojournalism has existed for 150 years, and photojournalists have spent all that time on the front lines, not only in times of war but also in times of peace, documenting the major events of contemporary history alongside scenes of everyday life, condensing the essence of a story into just a few pages . Kiosk reprints pages original newspapers produced between 1839 and 1973, ranging from 19th-century illustrations of new railway stations to legendary photo series taken in Vietnam, from Roger Fenton to Robert Capa, from the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung to USSR in Construction, from Collier’s Weekly to the AIZ and Vu.
