October 1, 1938


The very first issue of Picture Post Magazine, appeared on October 1, 1938. This was a British equivalent of the American Life magazine, and was very popular and profitable. Throughout the magazine's run, 1938 to 1957, Kurt Hutton was associated with it, as a photographer. Born on the French border with Germany, (Alsace) in 1893 his name was shortened from Hubschmann to Hutton during his career in England. A history of the magazine, written by David J. Marcou  notes

"With the passage of time both (Man and Hutton) today have become internationally renowned as cameramen to an extent the gentle, conscientious Hutton at least would never have expected."

He did like cats and there are many of his pictures to see if you do an image search on "Kurt Hutton" cat.
