Magnum photographer Leonard Freed’s powerful visual testimony of the event that culminated in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s prophetic I Have a Dream speech, delivered at the base of the Lincoln Memorial.

Freed’s images reveal the powerful impact of the march, which took place in the midst of the civil rights movement when racial inequities were being most painfully exposed to the nation and the world. From the hours before the march to the evening when the remaining marchers linked hands for a final rendition of ‘We Shall Overcome,’ and the aftermath as the crowds dispersed and the visual remains of this history-making event were reduced to placard scraps blanketing the ground.

Freed’s seminal civil rights photo essay, Black in White America, was first published in 1968. This newly expanded and redesigned edition includes unseen photographs, as well as Freed’s most iconic images and is the definitive collection of his photographs from the time. The images have never been printed in such quality before, the clarity of print serving to bring home the singular power of Freed’s talent as a documentarian.

This extraordinary work includes pivotal moments in the civil rights movement, such as the March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery marches. It is also a nuanced journey into the ordinary lives of a marginalized Black community living within a deeply divided nation. Freed was celebrated for his singular talent as a socially conscious photojournalist, and this essay conveys with power and dignity the exhausting, endless struggle of being Black in White America.

On this day in 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech during the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” civil rights march at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was the largest-ever civil rights gathering at the time with an estimated 250,000 people travelling from all over the US to attend. The march was aimed at supporting President John F. Kennedy’s Civil Rights Bill, then going through Congress. Marchers made their way from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial.

25/08/2025

The UK’s foremost film director Sir Christopher Nolan and the leading cultural historian Sir Christopher Frayling unite to assess the impact of one of the biggest, boldest - and least celebrated - eras in filmmaking history.

Meet the Adland Five - five British directors who stormed Hollywood in the late 1970s and early 1980s, having already revolutionised the world of advertising.

Hugh Hudson, Adrian Lyne, Alan Parker, Ridley and Tony Scott went from working side by side in London’s Soho ad business - on 30 second TV spots for the likes of Hovis and Heineken - to transforming the film industry with movies including Alien, Chariots of Fire and Top Gun. So why have critics never taken them seriously?

Christopher Nolan’s own love for the work of the Adland Five can be traced back to a childhood visit to the Pinewood set of Bugsy Malone in 1976. The film’s director Alan Parker was the first of the group to break into cinema, and it was the success of his debut – a prohibition-era musical starring kids, with adults providing singing voices - that led Parker’s friend and colleague Ridley Scott to move into the movies himself, with 1977’s Napoleonic drama The Duellists.

Without the impact of the Adland Five some decades before, Christopher Nolan’s own Hollywood career - with films like The Dark Knight, Inception and Oppenheimer - might never have seemed within reach. Now he believes it’s time they were given their due…

Joseph Caroff (1921 - 2025)
-
Logos for James Bond and ABC News, the book jacket for Norman Mailer’s The Naked and the Dead, movie posters for West Side Story and Mean Streets the list of contributions to twentieth century design by Joseph Caroff is extraordinary. Caroff’s work has only recently been given the recognition it deserves. He worked under the radar for many years, modestly seeing himself as a conduit for his clients’ requirements without need for personal credit.
Caroff studied at Pratt Institute and apprenticed with the French graphic designer Jean Carlu in his Manhattan studio. After active service in the Second World War, he freelanced as a designer, building a formidable reputation within the industry. In the early 1960s, he was approached to design a logo for a letterhead for the first James Bond film, Dr. No. Caroff was paid a fee of $300 and came up with the angled 007 with a gun coming out of the number 7. Over 60 years and many Bond films later, it is one of the most recognisable logos in the world. Caroff went on to work on over 300 film campaigns through his agencies J. Caroff Associates (from 1965), and Kirschner Caroff (from 1986). In 2006 he stepped away from the commercial world to focus on his art.

NO WAY OUT directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and introducing Sidney Poitier was released in 1950.

The original American poster was designed by Paul Rand (1914-1996)

Rand redefined the language of design and had a profound impact on his profession over 60 years. Rand studied at Pratt Institute, Parsons School of Design and the Art Students League and by his early twenties was already making an impression on the design landscape, creating covers for Direction, Apparel Arts and Esquire magazines. By the early 1940s, he was an art director for the prestigious William H. Weintraub agency in New York, then in 1946 he published his seminal work, Thoughts on Design; arguably the single most influential graphic design book of the twentieth century. Rand had an ability to think innovatively, without constraint from tradition. He explained that, ‘Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.’ In the 1950s and ’60s, Rand became renowned for his corporate logo work for brands such as IBM, UPS and ABC television. He also taught at Yale for several years and was inducted into the New York Art Directors Club Hall of Fame in 1972.

“The Jeans that Built America” is a slogan associated with Lee Jeans, specifically referencing their workwear during the 1930s. The slogan was part of “The Great Lee Success Story” advertising campaign, and was also used to highlight their workwear’s role in various industries like manufacturing, railroads, and aviation.
