A propos de cet article

A Typed Signed Letter and an Original Short Story from the Photographer Oswald Jones to Henry Williamson. Williamson and Jones were good friends and communicated frequently. This is an unusual and rare item as I cannot source or find any short stories in the public or commercial domain from Oswald Jones. Letter dated 1969. From a large collection of Henry Williamson's letters and Personal paperwork. Oswald Jones 1929-1998. Born London died Abergavenny 28 December 1998. During the Fifties and Sixties, Oswald Jones photographed both the up-and-coming and the arrived of the London arts world; his list of portraits reads like a page from Who's Who. Among his subjects were the playwrights Brendan Behan, Bernard Kops, Michael Hastings, J.P. Donleavy, John Osborne and Andrew Sinclair. The novelists included Doris Lessing, Bernice Rubens, Colin Wilson, Henry Williamson, Lynn Reid Banks, Eva Figes, Raymond Williams, Laura Del Rivo, Ann Quin and Alan Burns. There were actors and theatre critics, musicians, composers, poets, cartoonists, art dealers, a film director or two, comedians, politicians and even one photographer He was brought up in the London Welsh world, born to a Welsh father and a Scottish mother in Paddington in 1929. At an early age he acquired a box camera. Later he enrolled at the Regent Street Polytechnic School of Photography and did his National Service in the RAF. "I wanted to be a photographer so they made me a mechanic," he later remarked. After National Service he joined the staff of Conde Nast undertaking photography . He left in the early 1960s, to work from a studio in St John's Wood. A big break came when he did a shot of Brendan Behan in a pub in Blackheath. The American and British editions of Vogue used the picture. For much of the 1960s he worked on documentaries in Africa and Turkey for British television. He and his colleagues came under fire in Angola while on patrol with the Portuguese army. In Zanzibar he photographed Che Guevara surrounded by bodyguards. When he returned to London in the 1970s the freelance market had collapsed and he taught architectural photography at Guildford School of Art. He settled in Abergavenny in the early 1980s and worked on the Abergavenny Chronicle 1984-95. The letter is below average with surface and loss effecting some of the text. The typed short story is in good condition. Size is 300mm x 210mm. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17749. …
