The Photography & Video Show 2025 to showcase lost 1948 Olympics photographs

Olympics 1948 athletes parade.

The Photography & Video Show 2025 is to publicly display a selection of images of the 1948 Olympic Games for the first time. The monochrome square-format photos were discovered on a roll of film handed into the Disabled Photographer's Society at the previous year's show, which the Society subsequently had developed and was startled to find that it contained the historic photographs taken more than 75 years previously.

As we previously reported, who took the photographs remains a mystery, despite the Disabled Photographic Society's best efforts to trace the owner of the undeveloped film roll. The roll was handed in by an anonymous member of the public to the Society's stand at the Photography & Video Show 2024, which it uses to trade all manner of donated vintage photography equipment as a fundraiser. The stall is definitely worth popping by if you're visiting the show, as you never know what you might turn up.
