Description
Peter Campbell (1937-2011)
Peter was first and foremost a typographer, and only occasionally worked as a photographer in a professional capacity. His longest-standing professional association was with the London Review of Books, for which he was the resident designer from its founding in 1979 until his death in 2011. He was responsible for commissioning the photographic covers of the LRB throughout the 1980s, usually calling on photographers he knew (including Chris Killip, Homer Sykes and David King) when a portrait or reportage was needed. On a few occasions they were unavailable, he would step in.
