Sixties London: Photographs

In this closely observed sequence of photographs of London, Dorothy Bohm has captured the city as it appeared to her in the late 1960s. It is a city caught at a particular moment in its history, and the photographs convey a sense of transience, of nostalgia for a lost world.
Amanda Hopkinson's text places the photographs in the context of other visual records of London in the 1960s, and of Dorothy Bohm's photographic work as a whole. Ian Jeffrey provides detailed commentary on 25 selected images; his reading of the photographs draws out the very individual qualities of Dorothy Bohm's photography, and considers it in a wider photographic framework.
