Gipsies, or rather what to do with them, have always been a great problem in the outer fringes of London. Their habit of temporarily settling on odd tracts of land, usually incenses the local residents. Most police action is simply that of passing the travellers onto their next place of call, hopefully on someone elses manor.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the complex issue of Gipsies in the outer fringes of London during 1933. The image portrays a scene that highlights the perpetual struggle faced by local residents, law enforcement, and these nomadic communities. With their temporary settlements on random patches of land, tensions often ran high among those affected. The photograph showcases a group of Gipsy caravans or wagons parked alongside a dusty road. A stern-looking policeman stands nearby, representing the authority responsible for managing this delicate situation. His presence signifies an attempt to maintain order amidst discussions and persuasions aimed at finding suitable solutions for both sides. The picture exudes a sense of local color with its depiction of traditional Romani lifestyle against the backdrop of early 20th-century England. It serves as a reminder that national characters are not homogenous but rather diverse and multifaceted. In capturing this moment frozen in time, General (the photographer) sheds light on an enduring problem faced by society - what to do with these marginalized communities? The photograph's composition invites contemplation about living conditions, social dynamics between settled residents and travelers, as well as the challenges faced by authorities tasked with relocating them from one place to another. Overall, this evocative print offers viewers a glimpse into history while raising questions about societal attitudes towards gypsies during the interwar period in London's outskirts.
