About 20 years ago, Lothar Huber bought an album of prints at auction in Melbourne. The photographer is not known, but is believed to possibly be an Australian airman. The photos, which seem to date from 1943 to 1946, appear to have been taken in an official or semi-official capacity. They show a wide range of subjects, from scenes of London in the later stages of the war, to VE Day celebrations, English and French daily life, V2 rockets on display in Trafalgar Square and an attack on a German U-boat, to the ruins of bombed German cities shortly after the end of the war.

  The album contained around 100 professionally-printed 8″x10″ photos. There was no name or identification of the photographer, or indeed there may have been more than one photographer, in the album. Lothar made enquiries with the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to try and identify the photographer or photographers, but without success. He was told that it would be almost impossible to identify the photographer/s  so long after the events. 

  Due to their age, the photos are not protected by Copyright. But due to their historical interest, Lothar had the prints scanned, digitally retouched, enlarged and mounted on 20mm Artmount by Bond Colour for an exhibition.

  Some of the photos were also printed on canvas. Please check the descriptions carefully for the size and presentation of each photo.
