When an 83-year-old photographer, Ken Heyman, was asked to empty his boxes from a closing storage facility, he found a box titled "Mothers," filled with beautiful images of women and their children. These were photos he shot over 50 years ago for a book called Family, which he co-wrote with anthropologist Margaret Mead.
Take a look at these photos, published by Huffington Post, and see if you think the art of motherhood has changed in half a century.

Motherhood fifty years ago didn't need cell phones or toys...

The photos that were taken so long ago of mothers is still representative of the love mothers have today in 2014. The pictures radiate love, concern, laughter and joy. I was moved by everyone of them. The photographer, Ken Heyman captured motherhood beautifully.
