Time Magazine April 22, 1946

Through a post on mensa-pk yahoo group by Usman Zaheer I learnt about the absolutely wonderful image archive of LIFE magazine all the way from 18th century to present times.

I searched by the keyword “jinnah” and it had 52 entries. Out of them, this 1946 Time magazine cover caught my attention. 16-months before the creation of Pakistan, Time magazine had this illustration of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah on its cover with the sub-title that had said it all. And, today, the anti-Muslim roits by Hindus tell us that they have not forgotten their cow that was eaten the Moslem tiger 61 years ago.

Overall, the quality of images in the archive is crisp and worth collecting. The subject, the framing, the lighting, all in all, they are masterpeices that we can learn alot from to improve our photographic skills. Mensa’s Photography SIG members must spend time on this collection.
