Description: | The Archives hold the Michael Peto Collection. Michael Peto (1908-1970) was a Hungarian photographer, essentially a photo-journalist, renowned for his sensitive use of photography. His collection of almost 200,000 prints and negatives includes photographs taken during his spell with the Save the Children Fund in Hong Kong, India, Korea, the Middle East and Italy. He photographed widely in Britain and Eastern Europe specialising in everyday life and people at work. His work also covered art events and personality portraits, and includes stage and backstage photographs of ballet, emphasising not only the skills of performance but also the rigours of rehearsal and exercise.; Information about finding aids is available on request. The Michael Peto Collection can be viewed online through the Visual Evidence website:
