EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Soho in 1966. The focal point of the image is a peculiar sign that proudly advertises a special offer on briar pipes at Coleman Cohen tobacco shop. The sign's bold lettering catches our attention, promising an irresistible reduced rate for these coveted smoking accessories. The scene exudes an air of quirkiness and charm, as if plucked straight out of a comic strip. The juxtaposition between the vintage storefront and the bizarre nature of the advertisement adds to its allure. It serves as a reminder of how even mundane objects can become works of art when captured through Robert's lens. The composition is masterfully executed in portrait format, allowing us to fully appreciate every intricate detail within the frame. Shadows play across the textured surface of the wooden sign, while each pipe seems to possess its own unique character waiting to be discovered by eager customers. Roberts' skillful use of light and shadow creates depth and dimension within this seemingly simple street scene. As we gaze upon this photograph from Fine Art Storehouse, we cannot help but feel transported back in time – immersed in an era where small shops thrived on Old Compton Street, enticing passersby with their eccentric offerings. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the spirit and essence of London's iconic Soho district during one fateful day in May 1966.
