Life was an American magazine published weekly until 1972, as an intermittent "special" until 1978, and as a monthly from 1978 to 2000. During its golden age from 1936 to 1972, Life was a wide-ranging weekly general interest magazine known for the quality of the photography. Originally, Life was a humor magazine with limited circulation. Founded in 1883, it was developed as being in a similar vein to the British magazine, Punch. This form of the magazine lasted until November 1936. Henry Luce, the owner of Time, bought the magazine in 1936 solely so that he could acquire the rights to its name, and launched a major weekly news magazine with a strong emphasis on photojournalism. Luce purchased the rights to the name from the publishers of the first Life but sold its subscription list and features to another magazine; there was no editorial continuity between the two publications. Premier Issue, presumed first edition/first printing thus.

Daniel Longwell, who co-founded LIFE magazine with Henry Luce, and subsequently became its Executive Editor, writes to the distinguished photojournalist, "To Alfred Eisenstaedt--Whom I first asked to join "LIFE" when "LIFE" was still only an idea. Since then any idea of LIFE without 'Eisie' has been impossible." Eisenstaedt remained on LIFE's staff for 36 years, until 1972, when the magazine ceased publication.
