To tie-in with a newly published book, here's some early work from Elliott Erwiit.

Thanks for that. A piece of history. It is said that the 1960s did not begin until about 1963 and looking at these pictures it is as if what we regard as the post-war consumerism era hadn't begun either.

All a long time ago. Even the little girl in now well into her seventies if she is still alive.

My only knowledge of Elliot Erwitt was that he took pictures in which there were at least one dog or other animal, sometimes in huumerous situations. This proves to me that this is not the case. Did he specialise later on or was he taking that type of pictures early on as well?

In his poem 'Annus Mirabilis' Philip Larkin wrote
'Sexual intercourse began
In nineteen sixty-three
(which was rather late for me) -
Between the end of the 'Chatterley' ban
And the Beatles' first LP'
