  • Leon Levson
  • Leon Levson (1887-1961) was born in Lithuania. He was an emigre to South Africa, and became one of the first documentary photographers in the country. Initially he was a renowned portrait photographer but after WW2 travelled the country with his wife Freda, documenting social conditions. Freda Levson (formerly Troup) moved to England after Leon's death, and was active in the Anti-Apartheid movement.
