Meghan Jordan, curatorial assistant, and Jamie M. Allen, the Stephen B. and Janice G. Ashley Associate Curator, Department of Photography, will discuss their selections for the latest rotation in the History of Photography Gallery.

Over a professional life spanning seven decades, Edward Steichen (1879–1973) established himself as one of the most important figures in the history of photography.
