The 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade arrived in the UK in July 1941. Clyde Wilson a former boxer from Boston USA pictured by Robert Chandler of the Daily Sketch and HW Bill Warhurst of The Times 1/ @CarlaJeanStokes @mike_bechthold @CanWarMuseum
We& #39;re pretty sure Bob and Bill took their pix at the same moment. While Bob& #39;s print survive, the plate neg is lost. The same applies to Bill& #39;s photo - his image is scanned from the censor print - basically a contact print used by the censor to note approval. 2/
Here are the reverse of the two prints. They offer a lot of information about how the images were used (or not). Bob& #39;s shot was published. The Times went for a wide print - We& #39;ll share more soon. The & #39;scanned& #39; labels are from a project dating back to 2000.
Here is Bill Warhurst& #39;s wide shot which was published on The Times & #39;picture page& #39; on 7th July 1941. Images usually appeared together in a gallery on a single page. This sort of wide & #39;record& #39; shot was usually favoured over arty stuff.
