Ernest Cole, Lost and Found South African photographer Ernest Cole was the first to expose the horrors of apartheid to a world audience. His 1967 book House of Bondage, published when he was just 27, led him into exile in NYC and Europe for the rest of his life. Peck recounts his wanderings, artistic turmoil, and anger at the silence of the West in response to the apartheid regime. He also recounts how, in 2017, 60000 negatives of his work were found in a Swedish bank. See More
