Mother and baby. New York, 1953

In 1953, Elliott Erwitt was starting a family in his home of New York City. This image, a candid snapshot of his first wife, baby and cat, has since become recognized as a classic example of photography in the humanist tradition and strikes an emotional balance between the personal and universal.
