As subscribers to The Skeptic will be aware, many of the images that we use in the magazine are supplied to us by the Mary Evans Picture Library in Blackheath. The library was founded in 1964 by Mary and her husband, Hilary. We recently announced the winners of an essay competition in Mary's honour.

It is with sadness that I inform you that Mary Evans died peacefully in her sleep on the morning of 29 June. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's for the last four years. Further details of Mary's life can be found here.
