The first featured Picture Post image from our new contributor Bridgeman Art is ‘Cow, Isle of Wight’, a b/w photo by John Gay (1909-99) / © English Heritage / Bridgeman Art Library.
The image forms part of Bridgeman’s England Observed collection of photography featuring a peacefully idyllic post-war Britain from a large collection of John Gay’s work held by English Heritage. This and other images in the collection are available to license.
Attention to detail, the play of light and shadow, and a measured, striking use of perspective, proportion, and viewpoint are hallmark’s of this wonderful photographer’s work.
