Timeline
In 2013 John Topham will be the subject of a BBC documentary for The One Show.
His most famous image shows the children of hop pickers watching the aerial 'dogfights' of the Battle of Britain. It was used in a propaganda campaign alongside the slogan "Help England And It Won't Happen Here" which helped to convince millions of Americans to join the war against Nazi Germany. In 2009 the image was used to publicise 'Outbreak' - the major Imperial War Museum exhibition commemorating 70 years since the start of World War II. In the same year it was appropriated for use on the cover design of the Imperial War Museum book 'Outbreak: 1939: The World Goes to War'.
Topham died at his home in Edenbridge in 1992. According to the British Association of Picture Libraries and Agencies, he sent his very last dispatch to the Obituaries section of the Daily Telegraph: "Thanks everybody for a wonderful life, John."
Topham joined the RAF as a photographer in 1941 and was soon drafted into Intelligence. One of the famous images of Winston Churchill is by Topham. After the war, he refused offers of staff jobs in the RAF to become a freelance photographer again, working mainly in South East England and Scotland.
A show of Topham's work called "Memory Lane: 1933 - 1950: The work of photographer John Topham" was first shown in the Impressions Gallery in York in 1982, supported by the Arts Council of England. His work is described as justly famous for the way it captures the moment. In 2009, it was re-displayed in the TopFoto Gallery in Edenbridge, Kent and is now on permanent exhibition at the gallery.
He worked steadily from 1927 to 1973, documenting the "ordinary way of life of ordinary people...the little things of life - the way it really was." He is particularly noted for his photographs taken during the World War II era - with some appearing in Life magazine and one currently on display in the Imperial War Museum He amassed 121,228 negatives including 20,000 glass negatives of his earliest work.
John Topham began his working life as a policeman in the East End of London in the 1920s, where he carried a camera and made photographs of daily life in Kent, especially around the Sidcup area. A photograph of Mary Smith, a knocker-up, was his first published photograph. He sold it for five pounds, a week's wages, to the Daily Mirror newspaper, and decided to become a free-lance photographer.
John Topham (1908–1992) was an English social documentary photographer.
