PHOTOGRAPHER: HARRY JACOBS





































For over 40 years, from the 1950s until the late 1990s, Harry Jacobs worked as a commercial studio photographer in Stockwell, London, SW9. He took an estimated 60,000 photographs. Jacobs' archive captures generations of individuals and families, their hopes and achievements. I didn't get the chance to see the exhibition at the photographers gallery a few years ago but i've just made an appointment to look through the archives at the black cultural archives and museum.
