Description from the seller
Colin Jones (1936-2021) Race Riots — United States, 1963 Coverage for the British newspaper The Observer
- “Photographed and Printed by Colin Jones”: stamp indicating that the photograph was taken and printed by Colin Jones.
- Handwritten signature: attributable to Colin Jones, accompanied by the note “Vintage”.
- “Race Riots 1963”: handwritten identification of the report.
- “Birmingham Alabama USA”: location of the shooting.
- “1963”: year of the photograph.
- “Copyright Reserved”: rights protection stamp.
- “No Neg”: handwritten note possibly meaning “No Negative”, to be confirmed.
The mention “Vintage” is particularly important: it presents the print as a period print.
The scene seems almost ordinary: some police officers are talking, others are resting on the sidewalk. Yet, behind this apparent calm, the violence of an America confronting segregation and the struggles for civil rights can be discerned.
With his photojournalist eye, Colin Jones captures a suspended moment, where the composition, the attitudes and the gazes are enough to tell a time.
Black and white photograph, 1963. Title: Race Riots — Colin Jones / The Observer. Location to be confirmed.
Seller's Story
“L’œil du Douard” is dedicated to all lovers of photography.
This site offers prints from my personal collection featuring renowned "signatures", as well as prints entrusted to me by collectors for private sale. The proofs are mostly printed manually and using the silver process.
In 2019, with the creation of the Atelier/Galerie Taylor in Paris, I extend another way of the medium. Transmit, accompany and promote the work of photographers who are dear to me, both from the 20th century and more contemporary.
The images offered here touch me, challenge me, sometimes question, often inspire. Thank you to all those who have nourished my life path with their precious presence and support over the years and tomorrow!
This site is a tribute to photographers and their work.
