Dear Aviationcurator,
"Hulton|Archive is one of the largest collections of photography and
illustrative material in the world containing over 40 million images,
covering prints, engravings, cartoons, illustrations, maps,
periodicals and other ephemera. This unique resource is available for
the global picture buyer; those looking to research historically
significant subjects or personalities as well as those searching for
creative and stock imagery.
Hulton|Archive was formed after Getty Images had acquired two of the
leading historical stock houses; Hulton Deutsch in London in 1996 -
forming Hulton Getty, and Archive Photos in New York – a division of
The Image Bank - in 2000.
The cornerstone of the Hulton is the seminal news weekly Picture Post,
founded in 1938 by Edward Hulton publisher of this and numerous other
magazine titles. Picture Post commissioned much of its photography
which featured in the magazine until its closure in 1957. Its
pioneering photojournalism helped to revolutionise the style and
content of newspapers and magazines not only in Britain but also
throughout the world. Picture Post photographers include such
luminaries as Bert Hardy and Bill Brandt. The Hulton passed through
the hands of the BBC and private ownership and, in the process,
doubled the size of the collection with the acquisition of the
Keystone Collection. Though the majority of the Hulton is wholly
owned, representations of note include Weegee and Ernst Haas.
