Description: Remembrances presents a wide-ranging look at this legendary photographer's pioneering work in the field of photojournalism, from his first days in Germany in the 1930s through his long career at LIFE magazine, where more than 2,500 assignments led him on adventures around the world. Selected by Doris O'Neil from the archives of LIFE and from Alfred Eisenstaedt's vast personal file, the images in this book reveal the breadth of his achievement.

Included are pictures of historic events such as the first meeting of Hitler and Mussolini, vivid portraits of many of the most famous people of this century - statesmen, writers, actors, scientists, artists, philosophers - and endearing, timeless vignettes of ordinary people in midcentury America and Europe. As diverse as they are, the photographs are unified by Eisenstaedt's eye and by his intuitive ability to record moments of grace, wit, and beauty in the human experience.

In honor of the one hundredth anniversary of Alfred Eisenstaedt's birth, this special expanded edition of Remembrances includes a portfolio of thirty additional classic photographs by Eisenstaedt - images chosen by "Eisie" for the LIFE gallery. Many are previously unpublished in LIFE. Barbara Baker Burrows, Eisenstaedt's picture editor at LIFE for many years, contributes a foreword to this new edition.
