EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the life of a Gypsy knife-grinder in Horley, Surrey, 1964. The image transports us to a bygone era, where men like him roamed the streets with their grinding wheels, offering their services to sharpen tools for those in need. In this monochrome portrait, we see a man dressed in traditional Gypsy attire, his concentration evident as he focuses on his work. His hat adds an air of mystery and intrigue to his persona. Behind him stands an old English house, reminding us of the country setting that was once prevalent in this part of England. The photograph not only documents a profession but also offers insight into the concept of street trading during the 1960s. It highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals who made their living through such trades. Taken by Tony Boxall, this snapshot is more than just an image; it tells a story about British history and culture. It serves as a reminder of how different professions existed before modern technology took over our lives. As we gaze upon this picture print from Heritage Images, we are transported back to a simpler time when hard work and skill were valued commodities. It is truly remarkable how one photograph can evoke so many emotions while preserving moments that might otherwise be forgotten.
