This work looks at life beginning, here and elsewhere: pregnancy and motherhood in different societies, the first movements of newborn infants, the everyday life of babies, their relationship with the world around them - as seen by great photographers. See work from some of Magnum's most famous members including Cartier-Bresson, Burri and Stock.

Magnum Photos was founded in 1947 by Robert Capra, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, and David Seymour; with offices in New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, Magnum continues to work with the world's most distinguished photographers.
