EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Gipsy shaving, Lewes, Sussex, 1964" captures a poignant moment in time. Taken by Tony Boxall in the midst of the swinging sixties, this image transports us to rural England where a Gipsy man is engrossed in his grooming ritual. The monochrome tones add depth and intensity to the portrait as we observe every detail on his weathered face. Shaving foam delicately coats his skin while he focuses intently on perfecting each stroke with precision. The photo exudes a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life. Set against the backdrop of picturesque East Sussex countryside, this image offers an intimate glimpse into a lesser-known community that has long been part of British history. It reminds us of the rich diversity that exists within our country's cultural tapestry. Tony Boxall's composition beautifully captures not only the physical act of shaving but also hints at deeper stories hidden beneath the surface. It invites viewers to contemplate notions of identity, tradition, and personal rituals passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this striking photograph from 1964, it serves as a reminder that art has an extraordinary ability to transcend time and connect us with moments long gone.
