W. Eugene Smith was an American photojournalist who shot for Life Magazine before parting from them in the early 1950s and later joined Magnum. He is known for, amongst other things, his pictures of WWII. Smith's set of 'Country Doctor' pictures from 1948 for Life is one of the magazine's most famous individual photo-essays. Pictures found using Google Image Search.
I also, here, found scans of Smith's 'Country Doctor' pictures as they were printed in the article. Unfortunately they very small, but are still capable of giving an idea of the way Life Magazine handled its layouts at the time.
