Photography, the truest mirror o£ life, is capable of evoking every human emotion. People love pictures because they communicate instantly and eloquently. Here in the 1960 Photography Annual are presented about 250 of the best contemporary pictures from all over the world-plus a retrospective glance at many of this century's finest photographers.

Among the outstanding features of the 1960 Photography annual is the remarkable "Color Essay of the Year" in which Richard Avedon tells
how, on a Life assignment, he photographed Marilyn Monroe impersonating five fabulous sirens of the past: Lillian Russell, Theda Bara, Clara Bow, Jean
Harlow and Marlene Dietrich. Avedon's dash, imagination, and unfailing good taste plus Marilyn's glamour and impressive talent as a comic actress combined to produce a gay explosion of color, art and nostalgia. The result, in full color, is an unusual testimonial to photography as fun, art and an experiment in the re-creation of history
