The 'Paul Popper' Picture Page

Paul Popper a Czech-born magazine writer and editor, emigrated to London and, building on his professional relationship with many European photographers and his own wide-ranging journalistic talents, established both a photo and literary agency and began to amass a photographic collection which has endured - and flourished - for nearly three-quarters of a century. He wrote features and took photos himself whilst his wife Erica sold them up and down Fleet Street. With Paul Popper's death in 1969, the company was sold. Source

In February of 2011, a remarkable series of photos started appearing on eBay. I managed to grab the first of them for only $25 (thanks, B.O.O.B.S. contributors!) but then the internet exploded. The second sold for $78. The next hit over $80. The next over $100. One fetched $158! Truly amazing. I have managed to buy a few more since then, but the prices are often prohibitive.

Many thanks to:
- Simeon for improving the images posted on eBay
- Noble Herr Dave N for translating the German captions on the backs of the photos
- The Guy From the Netherlands , for sending me huge scans of the Popper pix he managed to buy
