An amazing collection. That first one is stunningly haunting or hauntingly stunning–not sure which.
The John Topham photo looks an awful lot like the one by Herbert Mason (see http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic-art/79855/145130/), which made it to the front page of the Daily Mail. Was Mason not the only photographer who shot from this vantage point? Did Topham work for another newspaper?
Thanks so much for catching that! Should have read Herbert Mason.
