Notes |
A copy exists in the George Arents Collection of the New York Public Library, Stephen A. Schwartzman Building, New York City, New York, United States of America, NYPL catalog ID (B-number) : b15262620 This image is a Gallaher cigarette card from a series of Victoria Cross winners title "Victoria Cross Heroes". This particular image comes from the 5th series. The New York Public Library record of this object is the best I've seen yet with regards to completeness (complete with electronic images of both front and back) but even they acknowledge its not perfect. The only potential author of mention is Central Press, which I've take to assume from researching (The Press Photo History Project) is Central Press Photo Ltd or London but there is no mention of an individual either as photographer or artist that completed the colouring. I researched the records of other cards in the series and got no further ahead. The only hit in the online records or the UK National Archive was for a card held at the Museum of English Rural Life but with no author details available and a search of the Imperial War Museum Records drew a complete blank.--Labattblueboy (talk) 15:17, 11 June 2016 (UTC) |
