Picture research for The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Thomas, a new edition in two volumes by The Folio Society.

My work on these books was shortlisted for the Longman-History Today Picture Research Award 2015. To read more about my process of searching and selecting the photographs, check out The Folio Society blog for the first in a series of posts by book editor Hannah Bowen, in which we discuss the photographic legacy of the Spanish Civil War.
