Great insight here from Matthew Butson, Vice President, Hulton Archive at Getty Images into the Fox Photos photographer Reggie Speller

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.
