EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of West London on the 9th of May, 1956. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a street vendor immersed in his trade, selling a range of adult content magazines to passersby. The vibrant array of titles displayed on his makeshift stall includes Wink, Whisper, Detective Weekly, Confidential, The Lowdown, Kippling, Chally, Red Light and Eyeful. The scene captures an era when such publications were sold openly on pavements by vendors like him. It offers a glimpse into the social norms and attitudes towards adult content during that period. As we observe the photograph closely, it becomes evident that this street vendor is not just selling magazines; he is also partaking in a subtle act of rebellion against societal taboos. Roy Illingworth's lens beautifully encapsulates the essence of this momentous occasion from the mid-20th century. Through his artistry and attention to detail, he transports us back in time to witness a slice of history that may have otherwise been forgotten. This evocative image reminds us how much society has evolved since then and serves as a reminder to appreciate our progress while acknowledging our past.
