John Hillelson (1923–2012) founded the John Hillelson Agency in London’s  Fleet Street in 1958. He was also the London agent for Magnum Photos, a cooperative that  brings together photojournalists from across the world. His wife Judith (1930–2010) ran the  agency's extensive picture library, from which this collection is drawn. \r\n\r\nThe agency collaborated with weekly magazine editors to publish photo-reportage, a genre that flourished in the 1930s with the invention of smaller, more portable cameras and new printing technology. The Hillelsons gained a reputation for presenting lesser-known work such as the pictures of apartheid, smuggled out of South Africa by Ernest Cole in 1966 and 1967. The Hillelson collection comprises key images from the agency’s library and reflects their position as leading advocates of human interest photography.\n\n5.
