It’s almost hard to believe that Esquire has been around for eighty years coming into creation in 1933. They have been around for many events in history that have come to shape modern America. To celebrate their eightieth anniversary Esquire has decided to photograph eighty prominent men of various ages, one born in each year the magazine has been around. According to Esquire, “most, even some of the youngest, have left their mark on the country, and together their faces are a breathing timeline.” You will recognize a lot of the faces and together Esquire feels that all of them together portrays the history of the modern American man. For more information on the project and the rest of the photos visit Esquire here.
