Two boys grinning, Salford, 1965

Shirley Baker (1932 – 2014) was one of Britain’s most compelling yet underexposed social documentary photographers. Her street photography of the working-class inner-city areas, taken from 1960 until 1981, would come to define her humanist vision. Shirley’s curiosity and engagement with the everyday world around her resulted in many different strands of work, many of which are yet to be exhibited, each of which confirms her acute observation, visual humour as well as compassion for the lives of ordinary people as distinctive in its exploration of post-war British culture. This print is beautifully mounted and framed in a dark brown wood frame. Outside frame dimensions are 45 x 40  x 3.5 cm. Please allow 3-4 weeks for shipping.
