EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the Gipsy knife-grinder of Horley, Surrey, in 1963. The image transports us to a bygone era, where avenues were lined with traditional buildings and men like him roamed the streets with their handcart. The Gipsy knife-grinder stands proudly beside his grinding wheel, dressed in typical English attire of the 1960s. His hat adds an air of authenticity to his profession as he diligently works on sharpening knives for customers passing by. This portrait offers a glimpse into a lesser-known occupation that once thrived on the country lanes of England. The monochrome tones enhance the timeless quality of this photograph, allowing us to appreciate every detail from Tony Boxall's lens. It is evident that this street trader took great pride in his work and had honed his skills over years spent perfecting his craft. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by individuals who dedicated themselves to trades often overlooked or forgotten today. Through images like these, we can pay homage to those whose hard work contributed to shaping our society.
