Prototypes of evolutionary agents sent by God with a mysterious power to create a new species - a young race of laughing freemen.”
The photos are organized by categories, including “Originals,” “Visionaries,” “Generations,” “Leaders,” “Players,” “High Notes,” “Sporting Life,” “Creators,” “Great Beauties,” Eccentrics,” “Couples,” and “Forever Young” (that latter category dedicated to those who died young).
