Synopsis

This is the first publication of an acclaimed photo series by Magnum photographer Erich Hartmann which serves as a tribute to the men and women everywhere whose work helped create the bread which feeds the world and has now become a metaphor for sustenance. A project which has spanned a number of years, and remained prominent throughout Hartmann's other assignments, material features land workers in Israel, millers in rural France and grain barges on the Mississippi. It is a picture-poem of the significance of bread to us all.
