The Classic magazine has recently published two features of interest to British photography. The London Photograph Fair - 40 Years On looks at this pioneering fair which will mark its fortieth anniversary in 2022. Its first outing was on Sunday 12 September 1982, and it was held at The Photographers’ Gallery in Newport Street, just off Charing Cross Road. It was the brainchild of Peter Agius LRPS, Fenton 
Medallist, and former Chairman of the Historical Group of the Royal Photographic Society. His italic scripted posters will be familiar to those of us who were interested in collection in the 1980s and 1990s.
"Talking French" is a conversation between Philippe Garner about the British fashion photographer John French who trained many photographers, not least David Bailey and Terence Donovan.
