Searching for: ‘1948 Olympics’ Photographers

By Will Carleton May 5, 2011 Uncategorized

This in from a PPHP reader; “I am a freelance Picture Editor looking for any photographers who photographed the London Olympic Games of 1948 who might still be taking pictures. Please e-mail me with any names or with any ideas as to how I could locate them. e-mail Suzanne at: [email protected].
Many thanks

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.
