Additional Information

Henderson’s wife had moved the family to Bethnal Green as part of an anthropology study she was working on, and Henderson himself seems to have been as interested in the lives of his working class neighbours as she, making observations about the fabric of life around him: “Our cloth-capped man on his bicycle lives in the more compact geography, working near the living house, trading in the street or living over his small shop in a day to day economy without larder stores and credit accounts.”

This print is taken from Henderson’s original negative, reproduced here for the first time in print format. In keeping with vintage photography, it features minor imperfections such as scratches and blemishes, and a small additional credit line on the image.

The largest size variation we are able to offer this print in is 80 x 60 cm.

Nigel Henderson (1917 – 1985) was a British photographer and artist. In his early career he worked in avant-garde collages and paintings, exhibiting at the Guggenheim Jeun alongside Pablo Picasso. After serving as a pilot during the Second World War, he studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, where he formed a life-long friendship with Eduardo Paolozzi. Henderson took these photographs of the East End whilst recovering from the trauma of the war, and they capture a vibrant portrait of 1950s East London and its post-war community.
