This just in from a PPHP reader :

Hi, Will. I just wondered if you knew dates (birth/death) for [photographer] Drees who worked for the Evening Standard. His heyday seems to have been the 1950s/60s.
If you have any details on this photographer please email [email protected] and we will put you in touch.

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.
