(April 30, 1965)
The fetus became widely recognized after LIFE published Linnart Nilsson's photograph of an 18-week-old fetus inside the womb on its April 30, 1965 cover. Swedish photographer Nilsson used an endoscope with an electronic flash to capture both the cover picture and pictures appearing inside the magazine to chronicle the beginning of human life. These pictures are part of Nilsson's book, "A Child Is Born," which sold eight million copies in the first four days after publication.
I like this picture because it has to do with babies and its amazing how they are created. When I think how an egg and sperm make a human it is unbelievable because it becomes a human and it grows pretty big in a womb and after they are born they don't stop growing. The exposure in this image is pretty dark but at the same time you can still see the image.
