Mothers and children. An extraordinary collection of photos has been rediscovered after 50 years. Look at them!
In 1965 the photographer Ken Heyman, now 83 years old, collaborated with the famous anthropologist Margaret Mead for the creation of a book, Family. The research, accompanied by a large number of images, is focused on the figure of the mother, studied and observed in many parts of the world, to try to grasp the differences and similarities between mothers in different cultures.
