• “We are delighted to offer this outstanding historical content from British Pathé,” says Paul Brown, Managing Director at Mary Evans Picture Library. “The collection covers so many layers of late 19th and early 20th century history, we feel it will really complement and enrich our existing material. It will be a hugely useful resource for our clients, but is also immensely interesting in own right, giving a totally different perspective on many of the most important events from recent history. Mary Evans Picture Library is now in its 56th year of business, and this new agreement, to represent material from one of the oldest newsreel agencies in the world, feels like a natural alignment between our two businesses”.
