Autobiography of Bernard Grant, one of the three Grant brothers who was employed by the Daily Mirror Newspaper, the first UK daily paper to use photography and photo-journalism on its pages. Bernard Grant joined the paper in 1906, when photographers were sent out on engagements in horse drawn cabs; he lived to see photographers flying across Europe at 200 miles per hour and transmit their pictures directly back to the office by photo- telephony. He and his brothers travelled all around the world in the service of “The Daily Mirror”.
The book tells of how Bernard Grant obtained some of his greatest images: -
His pictures of the great Messina earthquake to which 77,000 lost their lives, the first to reach London;
Exclusive pictures of Dr Crippen under arrest:
“On duty” at Sidney Street siege, and Official photographer attached to the Grand Fleet in the war:
Bernard Grant died on the 26th September 1936 of cancer.
