From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

The face is now iconic. But three photographs of Kate Moss as just another 14-year-old - sitting for her first ever shoot in October 1988 - are to go on sale at Bloomsbury Auctions.

Time magazine writes: "the signed prints of the fresh-faced ingenue....offer a delightful glimpse of a 14-year-old Moss shortly after she was discovered at New York’s JFK airport on her way home from a Bahamas vacation."

Each shot is expected to go for between £800 - £1200.

David Ross, the photographer, recalled the shoot in an interview with the Telegraph: “She wasn’t trying to prove anything or act above her station. She was untarnished. A blank canvas, as other writers have put it.”

Moss' longevity as a model is unrivalled; now 38, Forbes named her the second highest-paid supermodel in the world (behind Gisele Bundchen), earning $9.2 million from May 2011- May 2012.
