EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1953, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of London during the Pavement Artists Competition organized by the National Handicrafts and Hobbies Exhibition. The event took place in the grand entrance hall floor of Central Hall, Westminster on a sunny Thursday, September 17th. The focal point of this snapshot is artist Alfred Horton, standing proudly beside his mesmerizing crayon drawing titled "Running Waters". Clad in a beret that adds an artistic flair to his appearance, Horton exudes passion and dedication for his craft. His artwork showcases intricate details and skillful use of colors that bring life to the flagstones beneath him. Standing nearby is judge Miss Jean Carson, her discerning gaze fixed upon Horton's creation. As one can only imagine her critical eye analyzing each stroke with precision, it becomes evident how high the stakes were for all contestants competing in this prestigious contest. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates the essence of street artistry during the mid-20th century. It serves as a reminder of how art has always found its way into unexpected corners of our lives – transforming mundane pavements into canvases brimming with creativity and imagination. Henry How's lens beautifully immortalizes this fleeting scene from Memory Lane Prints collection.
