This is England: Don McCullin at the National Museum of Media

McCullin's first-ever published photograph, The Guv'nors, captures a gang from Finsbury Park, London, outside a dilapidated house. It was first published in the Observer in 1958 after a policeman was murdered by one of the gang members Photograph: Don McCullin/PR

According to McCullin, a postcard of this photograph sold 'like hotcakes' in Australia. McCullin found Snowy, the man in the portrait, standing by the side of the road with an ice-cream barrow in Cambridge, in the early 1970s. He pulled the mouse out of his pocket and put it into his mouth as McCullin took pictures Photograph: Don McCullin/PR
