13200. Wake-Walker, Edward. Lost Photographs of the RNLI. Sutton. 2004.
13200. Wake-Walker, Edward. Lost Photographs of the RNLI. Sutton. 2004. 192p. DJ. Some time after 1948, a collection of 39 photographs was borrowed from the archives of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution’s London headquarters by the American explorer, writer and film-maker, Amos Burg, in all probability for a National Geographic article that was never published. The collection features the Institution’s history from the 1920s to the end of World War II and includes pictures of Henry Blogg, probably the most famous lifeboat man of all time. RNLI photographs from this era are scarce, so this collection is a treasure, with a wealth of details of each photograph and wreck well researched by the author. The author worked for twenty-eight years with the RNLI, the final sixteen as PR Director. He is the author of several books on the RNLI and its history. Well done, most interesting. (VG+). $32.
