The picture is from an online archive of 52,000 images collated from the Hulton Getty Picture Post Collection by projects director Charles Merullo. The images are available free online to higher education institutions through HELIX, the Higher Education Library Exchange, launched last week at De Montfort and St Andrews universities.
