Photographs of everyday life, politics and disaster that became lasting images, from Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother and Lunch Atop a Skyscraper to V-J Day in Times Square, The Falling Man and Robert Frank's The Americans.

Items are placed by the form their cited article names for them, and each item sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a work that fits two forms goes where its article places it first.
