(FORTUNE Magazine) – Back in 1929, Time Inc. co-founder Henry Luce proposed a new publication, FORTUNE, that would be "the most beautiful magazine yet attempted in this country--so strikingly illustrated that nearly every page will be a work of art." The photographs of FORTUNE 500 companies that follow are just a few of our favorite images, showing the incredible range of subjects and styles that have appeared in our pages over the past five decades.
