Horace Roye (1906 - 2002) was one of the 20th century's pioneering photographers. Roye's photo of a nude model wearing a gas mask while pinned to a crucifix caused controversy when published in the North London Recorder in August 1938, but is now recognised as one the major pre-war photographic images of the 20th Century. As a noted photographer of nudes, he successfully contested the prudish obscenity laws of his day. In 2002 at the age of 96, Roye was stabbed to death by an intruder at his home in the kasbah of Rabat, Morocco.
