Many of the greatest photographers of the postwar era have at one time or another been associated with the distinguished and highly influential collective, Magnum Photos, Inc. This revolutionary cooperative agency for photojournalists was founded in New York in 1947 by Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, George Rodger, David Seymour (nick-named "Chim"), and William and Rita Vandivert (both of whom shortly resigned). Since then, its members and affiliates have covered virtually every major world event, the political, scientific, and artistic figures that make them happen, and the people who are affected by them. Today, Magnum enjoys a worldwide reputation for quality and sells thousands of photographs each year through its bureaus in New York, Paris, and London.
