The Mansell Collection was a commercial London Picture Archive with literally millions of photographs and pictures by well know artists. In the late 20th century the collection was purchased by the Time Inc. Picture Collection and transferred from London to New York.
Since then the photos seem to have been passed on to other digital collections such as Getty Images and Life Magazine and it is from these that the photos below depicting scenes from Gibraltar have been uploaded. Unfortunately the names of the actual photographers and the dates when the photos were taken are unknown - at least to me.
