Understood.
My "Iconic pictures of the WORLD" response was to Frank's "not a single
HCB? St. Ansel? Steichen?" - history represented by photographs; not a
history of photography. As such, they should have been chronological and
they should have been attributed.
"Migrant Mother" is by Dorothea Lange.
"Trang Bang Napalm Attack" has been censored.

While they are iconic pictures of the world and world events they are
also iconic images of photography and specific photographers.
and should each have mentioned the photographer, even if they were owned
by news services for whom the photographers were working for at the time.
Some of these are from Magnum and some from Black Star (I think) - they
always credit the photographs..
The Migrant Mother is Walker Evans
I think the Yalta photo IS HCB but maybe I'm wrong.
The sailor kissing the nurse is Eisenstaedt
etc.. I've known some others in the past and forget now.
You would never see a set of iconic paintings shown without
the name of the artist, would you?

These things are fun if for no other reason than that they stimulate
discussion and controversy about images missed and ones that
shouldn't be there.
That being said I have to admit, many of the images would have made
my short-list. But oh dear, not a single HCB? St. Ansel? Steichen?
Maybe copyright issues?
What surprises me most is that I see no attribution whatsoever. Is
that because I'm looking at a mobile version on my Android?
Interesting stuff. Thanks for posting.
Cheers,
