The Observer Magazine was a competitor to The Sunday Times Magazine. When the Sunday Times launched its colour magazine supplement in 1962, all of the other newspapers followed with their own competing versions. Along with the Observer, Sunday Times Magazine and Telegraph, Duffy provided images for all of the Sunday Newspaper supplements throughout his career.
