Seventy-five years ago, TIME publisher Henry Luce launched a new weekly magazine that he called "the biggest picture show on earth." The magazine, LIFE, was an instant hit and became the gold standard for photojournalism. LIFE has covered war and celebrity, heroes and villains, nature and society, along the way amassing millions of powerful, iconic images. Today, LIFE's tradition carries on as a line of richly illustrated books, the award-winning website LIFE.com, as well as LIFE apps.
