Lennart Nilsson's unique photographic story -- a universal introduction to the miracle of life.In 1965 Lennart Nilsson published images from inside the human uterus, the first photographs of prenatal life.

With a completely new accompanying text, the images are rendered in astonishing detail utilising revolutionary new photographic technology, with the photographs themselves the dominant driving force of the narrative.
