Vintage B/W John Topham Photograph Board of BRANDS HATCH Motor Racing Race Circuit.
John Topham (1908–1992) was an English social documentary photographer from Sidcup in Kent.
I am offering a number of his photos , on boards , that he took in the 1950s. He worked steadily from 1927 to 1973, documenting the "ordinary way of life of ordinary people...the little things of life - the way it really was."He is particularly noted for his photographs taken during the World War II era - with some appearing in Life magazine and one currently on display in the Imperial War Museum.
He amassed 121,228 negatives including 20,000 glass negatives of his earliest work.The TopFoto collection in Edenbridge holds about 122,000 of his pictures, including 20,000 glass negatives.Topham worked closely with a Kentish Times photographer, Tom Fassam.
Many of his prints of agricultural and rural interest are also on permanent loan to the Museum of Rural Life in Reading, courtesy of the TopFoto Archive.
I am offering several of his photographs on boards that I believe were taken in the 1950s and 1960s at The Brands Hatch Motor racing Circuit in Kent .
They feature actual cars and races , and the advertisements are in the background.
All of the backs are stamped with his mark and read ,Photograph by JOHN TOPHAM LTD , 120 MAIN ROAD , SIDCUP , KENT , Tele Footscray 2116 (Day and Night).
This measures 12 inches x 10.25 inches and is ready to hang on your wall .
