What is the symbol of documentary photography?

As early as 1870, Dr. Barnard, the founder of the famous "Extreme Poverty Children's Home" in Britain, began to realize the documentary function of photography. Before he arrived and left, he took a photo of every child in "Poor Children's Home", and then pasted the photo on cardboard with a caption for sale. These photos not only expanded the social influence, but also raised funds for children's food and clothing.
