A complete archive of 19 original press photographs commissioned by The Times in 1977, taken by photographer Nick Rogers. The series documents David Irving at the launch of Churchill’s War: Volume One – The Struggle for Power and captures both formal and symbolic portrayals of the historian at the height of his career.
The shoot presents a variety of moods and compositions, including:
- Author portraits with pen in hand, evoking the craft of writing.
- Reflective close-ups, candid and serious in tone.
- Confrontational book poses, with Irving half-concealed behind the dust jacket of Churchill’s War.
- Tabletop and publicity shots, pairing Irving directly with the newly published volume.
