The magazine of the photo-essay
March 2018 back issue
“A free, really high quality photo-essay magazine. Fabulous!”
Stephen Fry. British actor, writer and film maker
by David Granick
When a local photographer was invited to examine 1,000s of David Granick’s colour
slides in early 2017, he knew he’d seen something special. These images capture the
post-war streets of Stepney, Whitechapel, Spitalfields and beyond in the warm hues
of Kodachrome film at a time when black and white photography was the norm.
Acquired by Tower Hamlets Local History Library & Archives in the early 1980s and
preserved there safely since, these photographs show an East London on the cusp
of social change. The book coincides with an exhibition running:
3 February - 5 May 2018
