    South African Photographer Ernest Cole (1940-1990) published one book during his lifetime - House Of Bondage (1967) - a collection exposing life under Apartheid. After fleeing South Africa in 1966, he became a "banned person" and settled in New York, but his final years were marked by periods of homelessness and poverty
