Toni Frissell: Victoria Station, London, 1951

Toni Frissell: Victoria Station, London, 1951 by trialsanderrors.
"Victoria Station, London". Fashion model (identified as Lisa Fonssagrives with English bobby on platform at London's Victoria Station. Photograph by Toni Frissell (one of the most celebrated female photographers of the 20th Century), published by Harper's Bazaar in 1951. Part of a collection gifted to the Library of Congress by Frissell. Very poor scan of a very beautiful picture. I tried my best to bring out the contrasts and remove the various artifacts, but I wish they'd clean it up and scan it again.

From the Toni Frissell collection at the U.S. Library of Congress.
