This print captures the essence of a Daily Mirror Photographer in the 1930s, showcasing his remarkable skill and steady hand. George Greenwell, one of the Mirror's most renowned photographers, confidently holds his camera without the aid of a tripod. His unwavering confidence is evident as he fearlessly tackles various genres of photography. George's versatility shines through in his impressive portfolio, which includes striking images from World War II Blitz and iconic shots like London burning from atop St Paul's Cathedral. Whether capturing news events, sporting moments, royal occasions or fashion trends, George was always at home behind the lens. In this snapshot taken during the 1940s - an era when tripods were commonly used by photographers - George stands out for embracing technological advancements ahead of others.
