life: Let us introduce you to the work of Peter Stackpole. Stackpole was one of the “original four” — the celebrated quartet of staff photographers (along with Margaret Bourke-White, Alfred Eisenstaedt and Thomas McAvoy) on LIFE magazine’s masthead at its launch in November 1936. During his 24-year career at LIFE, Stackpole covered stories as varied in scope and tone as the construction of great bridges, from the Delaware River to the Golden Gate; dance marathons; film directors and movie starlets; and the struggle in the Pacific during World War II.  Pictured: Communications chief Frank Higgins takes a nap in the water during production of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1952.
