Jane Bown from 1947 to 1967
An exhibit over Jane Bown’s work will be held at the british newspaper The Observer ’s Newsroom from Friday September 28 2007 to Friday January 25 2008.
The exhibition comprises largely unseen pictures by the legendary Observer photographer. Jane started her career at The Observer in 1949 and the exhibition features her non-portrait images from the 1940s, 50s and 60s offering a unique perspective on British social history.
The Observer published its first Jane Bown photograph in December 1949, beginning a romance between Britain’s oldest Sunday paper and the country’s most loved photographer that still flourishes.
