Product Description

Born in 1929 in Accra, James Barnor is regarded as a pioneer of Ghanaian photography. In 1959, two years after Ghana became an independent nation, Barnor moved to London to broaden his knowledge about photography. During London’s 'Swinging Sixties', he eloquently captured the mood of the time, and the African diaspora’s experiences in the city.

The artist took this photograph in 1967 while on assignment for Drum - the influential anti-apartheid magazine based in Johannesburg and Africa's first Black lifestyle publication. Barnor recalls “I was on an assignment for Drum to photograph the BBC Africa service presenter Mike Eghan – we met at their studios first, but it became evident quickly that he was too big to be confined indoors, so I thought ‘No, this is not enough; let’s go to the Centre’. We ended up at Trafalgar Square, and later at Piccadilly Circus, shooting for what seemed like hours.”

This limited edition has been hand-printed in the darkroom by master printer Bayeux, London.

Autograph is a UK charity. Sales of this print support both the artist and our mission to champion photography that explores race, representation, human rights and social justice – shaping a more inclusive future in the arts and beyond.
