Comments on: Israel Bidermanas’ London https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/06/06/israel-bidermanas-london-i/ In the midst of life I woke to find myself living in an old house beside Brick Lane in the East End of London Tue, 06 Jun 2023 17:27:58 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: John Campbell https://spitalfieldslife.com/2023/06/06/israel-bidermanas-london-i/#comment-1511362 Tue, 06 Jun 2023 17:27:58 +0000 https://spitalfieldslife.com/?p=195982#comment-1511362 ‘Hampden Crescent W2’ must have been an inspiration for Roger Mayne in his ‘Photographs on Southam Street’ just a few years later.

I have to agree with Cherub, the first image of the the couple on the galloper made me smile too. How wonderful to see London before the money and venality moved in.

Each of the photos is perfect in its own way.

Love & Peace

It’s as if all their cares have gone away for that moment. Really lovely.
