Overview
The launching of "Picture Post" in October 1938 was a milestone in British journalism. Its emphasis on using photographs, rather than text, to tell a story was something completely new. This is a selection from the magazine's archives, containing examples of photojournalism from the war and post-war years to 1957. The material is arranged thematically and covers a variety of aspects of life in Britain, as recorded by "Picture Post", with the author's historical background provided in the form of an introduction and extended captions.Gavin Weightman's other books include "The Making of Modern London".
