Review: "Daily Encounters celebrates press portraits during the Fleet Street era, before the move to Canary Wharf in the 1980s. It traces the emergence of a new breed of British press photographer, often from working-class obscurity: Skilled photographers, such as Bert Hardy, Erich Salomon and Terence Donovan, have ensured that images intended to be seen only for a day have come to define our memory of the twentieth century From Charlie Chaplin caught taking a stroll through London and Winston Churchill inspecting bomb damage to John Lennon and Yoko Ono leaving court after drug charges and Lady Diana's early experiences with the paparazzi, Daily Encounters highlights both the sensational and the serious reporting of current affairs."--BOOK JACKET.
