Hi Will
Your name was given to me by Sarah McDonald of the RHS as I am looking for information on the photographer Christopher Trent. He was a photographer active in the late 1950s to mid 1960s and published several books including the ABC of Photography and Colour Photography. We have recently acquired a couple of his photographs and need to find out the copyright holder.
Any information would be welcome.

Yours sincerely,
Uxbridge Library

Why is it important?

At the turn of the 20th century, there was vast growth in press agencies and photographers due to the massive thirst for images in newspapers. Many are still in existence but others have been sold, absorbed or simply disappeared, effectively leaving gaps in the history of this industry… many agency offices were bombed during the WWII London Blitz resulting negative and print files being water damage from the hoses quenching the fires …most archives were in the building basements.
