The street photography was originally published 1955 in the photojournalistic magazine Picture Post which founded the Hulton Archive in the mid-1940s.

Since the 1940ies, the Hulton Archive indexes its pictures after keywords and classifications (so called 'metadata'). The cataloguing system was developed by Charles Gibbs-Smith of the Victoria and Albert Museum. With the digitalization, this system allowed the migration to the web easily. In 1997 (one year after it became part of Getty Images), these metadata were transferred to the website and supported the search after images.
