Cartier-Bresson used to ship the film back from wherever he was and carry on travelling, so he wouldn't see the contacts until he returned to Paris, which could be months after he shot the film. But this must have been true of many photographers back then. National Geographic photographers used to have to phone in on a regular basis so that their editor could tell them whether or not they had the shot, and if not to keep blasting away.
