During the summer of 1949, Harry Swan commissioned Magnus Williamson to produce and edit the new style programme. At the time, anyone wanting a copy of the photographs was directed to the Editor. Magnus went on to become a City Councillor in the early 1960s.

The 1949-1950 cover photographs were from various sources including the Daily Herald, Daily Record, Evening News and Photo Illustrations.

1950-1951 were mainly from a Roy Cameron, with the Edinburgh Dispatch and the Daily Mail also contributing.

I used to have a fairly large collection of Programmes from the 60s and early 70s until my good wife threw them out during a flitting in the mid 70s. I was not amused I can tell you and it almost brought to a premature end what has been a long and happy marriage!
As you know Hibs always featured a shot from the previous home game and I used to love occasionally looking back through them. One that did survive is the East Fife , John Brownlie leg break game immediately after the 7-0 game with the iconic photo of Jimmy sliding in for the 6th.
