EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait captures Vice-Admiral C. V. Usborne, the Chief Censor of the British government during World War II. Usborne, who served as Director of Naval Intelligence from 1930 to 1932, assumed the role of Chief Censor in 1939, overseeing the Ministry of Information's press censorship activities. The importance of his position during this critical time in history cannot be overstated, as he was responsible for suppressing information that could potentially harm morale or aid the enemy. Usborne's stern expression and formal attire convey the gravity of the situation, while the shadowy background adds an air of mystery and intrigue. The portrait serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role that government censorship played during wartime, and the sacrifices made to protect national security and maintain public morale. This image is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the world of wartime Britain and the individuals who played a pivotal role in shaping its course.
