NOTE

This print was the cover image to The English at Home of 1936, Brandt's first book of photographs. The cover image is a detail cropped from the original negative; the full image was reproduced as a plate in the text. The print offered here is cropped from the original negative along the right edge - the only figure not observing the race has been edited out of the picture.
The print is flush-mounted on exactly the same board as the photograph by Brandt in the previous lot, suggesting that it too may date from the time of the exhibition at Marx House.
