A GROUP OF 13 VINTAGE PRESS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PEACE CAMPAIGNER

Russell, Bertrand
A GROUP OF 13 VINTAGE PRESS PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PEACE CAMPAIGNER AND PHILOSOPHER 1955 - 1962
Sizes vary per - most approx 22 x 18cm. A group of original b/w pictures with verso "reportage" explanations - the subjects vary from official portraits "by Gaby of Montreal" to sit down protests where Russell was arrested and, then later, jailed for nailing a proclamation to the doors of the UK Defense Ministry door. Others show him appealing to a mass meeting of dockers not cemented by his early research in number theory and logic but his later popular philosophy books such as "Why I am not a Christian" and tv appearances made him into a well-known figure in the UK and abroad. He used his fame to protest against major areas of political concern as these documentary images show well.  All photographs in very good condition. Sample images on request.
