#48 See life, see the world: happy 75th Life.
On November 23, 1936 - 75 years ago today - LIFE magazine published its very first issue, with a mission "to see life; to see the world; to eyewitness great events; to watch the faces of the poor and the gestures of the proud."
And over the decades its photographers did just that, bringing to every reader's living room the horrors of war, the glamour of Hollywood, the miracles of science, the majesty of the wild. In celebration of this big birthday, while Life.com presents the 75 best covers, we publish here our 7 favorites.
