Michael Joseph (1941-) - Dodos, Portobello Road - authentic vintage darkroom print
Michael Joseph – Dodo’s, Knightsbridge, London (1960s)
Authentic vintage silver gelatin darkroom print, hand-signed
This authentic silver gelatin print by Michael Joseph captures a wonderfully chaotic yet composed scene: the famed Dodo’s shop window in London, brimming with signage, objects, and visual noise. A striking example of Joseph’s fascination with layered visual storytelling, it speaks both to the consumer culture of 1960s London and to the photographer’s eye for order within apparent disorder.

Joseph (b. 1941) is celebrated for his portraits, fashion work, and cultural documentation, most famously the Rolling Stones’ Beggars Banquet (1968) shoot. While his group portraits often carried a rowdy, theatrical energy, this photograph shows his ability to elevate the everyday—here, a shop window—into a tableau that feels staged, surreal, and timeless.
Now over half a century old, this print is a rare survival from Joseph’s darkroom practice, offering collectors a chance to own a slice of London’s visual history through the lens of one of Britain’s most distinctive photographers.
