Ernest Cole left the DRUM magazine in 1960, and freelanced for South African newspapers and the Associated Press, which was a first in those days. He was always thinking of making a book. While he was doing smaller projects, or assignments, he considered how they fitted into a wider body of work (Magnum Photos). Therefore these early newspaper clips and publications which he collected around the effects which Apartheid had particularly on black South Africans, led to his book 'House of Bondage', with a number of them also containing his photographs. Again, the original order of the way in which these clippings were received, has been widely retained, i.e. they were not part of the folders in section A3.2.
