LIFE Magazine, established in 1883 and re-launched as a weekly news magazine in 1936 by Henry Luce, became one of the most iconic publications in American history, renowned for its vivid photojournalism and the chronicling of national and global events. Its compelling visual narratives and in-depth features captured the essence of cultural, political, and social life, often with a single, powerful image, such as the celebrated ‘V-J Day in Times Square’ photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt.
