About the Item

Two divers jump off Embankment and into the River Thames in London. In the background is Westminster and the Houses of Parliament. Passersby turn in amazement to watch the divers leap into the murky waters of London's longest and largest river. From May 1934. 16" x 20" print Silver Gelatin print. Prints are made from the scanned original negative, and are offered as Silver Gelatin Prints. These are a high quality modern resin coated emulsion darkroom paper used for the production of darkroom prints. Exposed by hand and machine dried and fixed. Prints are produced to order and lead times up to 7 working days. Printed later from the Hulton Archive and Getty Images. Other print size may be available, enquire through the gallery. Taken from the world’s largest photographic archive, (Hulton Archive and Getty Images), the Getty Images Gallery collection features an extraordinary time capsule of the last century – social and political images that both made the news, as well as images from behind the headlines, which show the human race at work and play. This stunning collection of photographs encompasses both the public and private lives of the 20th Century and its personalities. Including both famous and relatively unknown images, this glimpse into the Getty Images archive provides an insight into renowned social documentary photography, street photography, and of course, celebrity imagery.

Located in Brighton, GB
Untitled #2 (Man Tower Bridge) from the series Eternal London is a Limited Edition Silver Gelatin print by Giacomo Brunelli. This size of 9" x 12" from a Limited Edition of 10. As the edition sells through, the print increases in price to reflect rarity. Giacomo Brunelli was commissioned by The Photographer's Gallery, London, to capture the heart of the capital city where he lives. Made over the course of 2 years, Eternal London takes Brunelli's distinctive film noir aesthetic to create an evocative and atmospheric view of London, full of powerful light and shadow work. Framed by boldly abstract silhouettes of people and animals, London's famous landmarks are presented in a less-than-obvious way, reflected in the puddles that typify English weather or looming as a mysterious structure in the background. Captured during daily morning walks, Brunelli randomly chose a person to follow before focussing his camera on them. Working discreetly, like early 20th century photographers such as Jacob Riis...
