Dressed in a cowboy hat and sporting a wooden gun in a holster, a child poses in front of a closed newsagent door. Henderson found the textures of such shop fronts fascinating, writing that in Bethnal Green, ‘You come upon doors annihilated by paper like the mossy encrustations of trees in the bayou, and padded lichenated walls.’

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.
