In the pre-digital era, photographers would send physical prints to newspapers and magazines. These prints were circulated, handled by numerous individuals, stamped on the back, and frequently accompanied by captions. After their usage, the prints were either archived, discarded, or, in the case of a fortunate few, returned to the photographer or their photo agencies.

At the dawn of the 1960s, when O'Neill's career commenced, physical prints were the standard practice. Terry meticulously preserved as many prints as he received back. I just kept everything, he explains. I don't know why. Back then, there was no rationale to retain them. Photos were promptly utilized and then I moved on to the next assignment. No one contemplated the value of these images fifty years later, let alone at the time.

This book presents a collection of hundreds of these rare images, an absolute must-have for Terry's fans and photography enthusiasts.
