1964 Dirty Distorted Elderly Encampment Gipsies Gipsy Gurning Lewes Mouth Pulling Shirt Stubble Untidy


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of an elderly Gypsy man, with an untidy mop of hair and a thick beard covering his face, pulling a gurning face at an encampment in Lewes, Sussex, in 1964. The man's age is evident in the creases on his face, the wrinkles around his eyes, and the stubble on his chin. He wears a dirty, old shirt with the collar turned up, adding to his disheveled appearance. The historical context of this image is further emphasized by the jacket he is wearing, which is also worn and faded with time. The scene takes place at a Gypsy encampment, a common sight in Sussex during the 1960s. The image transports us back to a time when life was simpler, and the Gypsy community lived a more nomadic existence. The man's distorted, gurning face adds an element of humor and lightness to the image, despite the apparent poverty and hardship depicted. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural diversity that exists within the Gypsy community. It also highlights the importance of preserving historical records and documenting the lives of marginalized communities. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs, and its authenticity is further assured by the high-quality print from Mary Evans Prints Online.
