Downtown Toronto's Image Centre is digging deep for a restaging of Magnum's First, the celebrated picture agency's long-forgotten inaugural exhibition. It was shown at several Austrian venues in 1955-56 but never seen on this side of the Atlantic-until now. On display will be 83 of the show's original gelatin-silver prints. Magnum's First features works by many of the 20th century's most celebrated photojournalists-among them Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Capa, who co-founded Magnum in 1947 with George Rodger and David "Chim" Seymour.
