Let There Be Light, 1951

This is a glimpse of the Family of Man show originally created by Edward Steichen in 1955 for the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and now on permanent display at Château de Clervaux in Luxembourg.

In the original New York show, Wynn's image of Let There Be Light was displayed as a four-panel reproduction with an overall measurement of 120 x 152 inches (that's 10 x 12 1/2 feet!).

Mysteriously, when the show was given to Luxembourg, one of the four panels was missing. The decision was made to have a new complete reproduction made with the same dimensions for the exhibit at Château de Clervaux.
