Relevance

The institutional primary source listing every checklist entry in The Family of Man, grouped by its internal thematic sections and numbered in the sequence used for the circulating (international-tour) edition. Each entry gives a checklist number, the geographic location “where taken,” the photographer’s name, the agency or publication if applicable, the photographer’s nationality, and the print dimensions in centimeters. Captions and quotation panels are interleaved as separate entries (“Caption 1,” “Caption 2,” etc.) and are keyed by install under #N or install by #N, making their physical placement reconstructable. This is the anchor document for any claim about plate-level attribution in the exhibition.

The PDF (26 pp., 9.0 MB) was fetched 2026-05-10 and is cached at .scratch/moma-exh-0569-master-checklist.pdf. Plain-text extraction via pdftotext -layout is at .scratch/moma-exh-0569-master-checklist.txt (1623 lines). All plate entries below are transcribed verbatim from that extraction; OCR artifacts are preserved and flagged with [OCR: ...] where the canonical reading differs from what the PDF typist typed.

Notes

  • Coverage: This file now covers all 42 sections and all numbered checklist entries 1–503 (plus out-of-range plates #505 and #506 placed within Sections 15 and 14 respectively).
  • OCR artifacts: The plain-text extraction contains numerous OCR artifacts from the typewritten original (e.g., Amer.ican, ~1agnum, LIF8, etc.). The general policy is to flag these inline with [OCR: ...] notation, with the canonical reading given in the bullet before the bracket. A small number of unambiguous, character-level OCR errors in proper names, periodical titles, and plate numbers — where the canonical reading is established elsewhere in the document or in data/photographs.csv — were normalized silently rather than flagged. Known silent normalizations in this transcription: plate 328 (raw OCR 32B → 328); plate 332 periodical (raw OCR GLANOUR → GLAMOUR); plate 505 photographer (raw OCR Lennert Nilsson → Lennart Nilsson). Do not silently normalize OCR artifacts going forward — preserve as evidence of what the scan returned, and flag.
  • Documented skipped numbers: The checklist skips the following plate numbers without explanation (inferred: withdrawn plates, reserved numbers, or internal edits): 5, 7, 8 (Section 1 Prologue); 61 (Section 8 Mothers and Babies); 88, 90 (Section 10 Family Activities); 145, 149 (Section 15 Work A); 216 (Section 18 Adult Play); 246 (between Sections 21 and 22); 261 (Section 23 Food); 337, 346 (Section 26 Learning); 399 (Section 32 Famine); 425 (Section 35 Teens). Additionally #358 and #362 appear to be displaced — #358 is physically placed in the Section 25 block but numerically belongs to Section 27; #362 may be a skip or displaced plate in Section 28.
  • Out-of-range plates: #505 (Lennart Nilsson, Belgian Congo, Section 15) and #506 (William Garnett, U.S.A., Section 14) use three-digit numbers placed within their respective section sequences rather than at the end of the checklist. Their numbering convention is not explained by the document.
  • Out-of-numerical-order plates within sections: #115 is placed first in Section 14 despite its lower number; #168 and #506 are placed at the end of Section 14; #194 is placed within Section 19; #269 is placed at the head of Section 25; #358 is physically placed within the Section 25 page block.
  • Recurring plate 11 A–F: The Peru flute-player image (Eugene Harris, POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY, American) recurs six times with placement directives keyed to adjacent plates: #11A in Section 1 (Prologue), #11B above #74 (Section 9 Children A), #11C below #193 (Section 17 Woman’s Work), #11D above #237 (Section 21 Dance), #11E between #287 and the Section 25 heading, #11F by #328 & #332 (Section 26 Learning).
  • Nationality conventions: The checklist uses its own nationality conventions, often recording the photographer’s nationality at time of exhibition (1955) and recording U.S. residents — including naturalized citizens and émigré photographers — as “American.” Verbatim checklist values are preserved; scholarly convention may differ (e.g., Robert Capa recorded as “American” per checklist).
  • No photograph titles: The checklist does not record photograph titles. Per the CNA educational portal, Steichen “took the pictures out of their context, deprived them from their title, their date or any mention about their original place” (src-cna-education). Titles appearing in data/photographs.csv are sourced from additional Tier-1/2 references, not from this checklist.
  • No photograph dates: The checklist does not record dates of the photographs. Years in data/photographs.csv are sourced from additional Tier-1/2 references.
  • Edition: This is the checklist for the circulating / international-tour edition (header: “1955–56 — An exhibition prepared and circulated by The Museum of Modern Art”). Per-plate variations for specific tour stops — e.g., USIA versions going abroad — may exist and are separately documented in National Archives RG 306 (not consulted in this round).
  • Date stamp: The final line of the PDF extraction (line 1623) reads 5/3/55, indicating a document date of May 3, 1955 — approximately three months after the exhibition’s January 24, 1955 MoMA opening.
  • Perspective: institutional / curatorial / archival. This is the museum’s own working document and inherits the curatorial framing of its moment.
  • Cross-reference: research/reception-1950s-us-press.md (geographic concentration in NYC press, verification-status framing).
