Established in 1938 by Hungarian Jewish refugee Stefan Lorant, Picture Post became an overnight success. Shaped by its founder and first editor’s liberal and progressive values, the iconic weekly magazine, which focused on the life of "the common man," revolutionized not only Britain’s publishing world but also its politics and public life. Exploring their adoptive country from their distinctly outsider’s perspective, Lorant and his team of influential photographers championed a fairer and more equal society, and led, even if indirectly, to Labor’s historic win over Churchill during the first election after the war. A journey back in time to one of the most dynamic and exciting eras in the England’s modern history.
