Description
A never-before-seen archive of 300 celebrity portraits from a London studio that photographed thousands of people for passports and travel documents. The studio, which operated from 1953, was run by a family - professional boxer turned photographer, his wife, and their son Philip. Conveniently located near the US embassy and Selfridges, it became the go-to place for passport photos thanks to its quick turnaround and 'Ready in 10 Minutes' slogan. This charming book brings back to life a vanished time in the capital, featuring more than 300 never-before-published portraits of famous faces, including actors, writers, musicians, politicians, and athletes.
