In May 1938, the first issue of PICTURES, the Post-Dispatch's Sunday magazine, was published and continued weekly until 1996. Today, the photo staff of the Post-Dispatch brings PICTURES back, in Web form, after its 12 year hiatus. We hope to bring the same tradition of rich visual storytelling to the Web, in still pictures, multimedia and videos -- with the spirit that made PICTURES thrive for 58 years.
