About this title

Synopsis

Eyes on an Era takes an insightful and nostalgic look at America through the lens of premier photojournalist Irving Habermann during the decades that shaped the modern era. From World War II to Vietnam, from Roosevelt to Nixon, Haberman's documentation of important figures and events is matched only by his depiction of ordinary people - their struggles, their aspirations, their triumphs.

Organized by decade, Eyes on an Era is narrated by newsman Walter Cronkite, Habermann's longtime colleague and friend, who brings a unique perspective to this photographic overview of American life.

Curator Miles Barth's introduction reconstructs Haberman's importance to photojournalism, from his days as a newspaper and magazine contributor to his activities as chronicler of the emerging television age in his role as photographer at CBS.
