EDITORS COMMENTS
In this monochrome print by Dave Fobister, we are transported back to the streets of Bootle in 1968, capturing a poignant moment that speaks volumes about societal norms and health issues of the time. The image portrays a young boy, his worn shoes and clothes suggesting a life beyond his years. With an air of rebellion, he is seen cadging a light for a cigarette from an unseen source. The photograph serves as both a historical archive and a reminder of the challenges faced by youth during this era. Smoking was prevalent among young people despite growing awareness of its detrimental effects on health. The juxtaposition between innocence and vice is strikingly portrayed through the boy's youthful face engaging in such adult behavior. Set against the backdrop of Merseyside, England, Fobister skillfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also conveys an emotional narrative within this single frame. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth to the image while emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. This thought-provoking photograph invites viewers to reflect upon past attitudes towards smoking and raises questions about how society has evolved since then. It serves as both an artistic piece and an important social commentary on youth culture during that period in British history.
