Michael Joseph (1941-) - Engine overheating - authentic vintage darkroom print
Engine Overheating — London, 1960s
Vintage silver gelatin print by Michael Joseph
A humorous and quintessentially British scene by photographer Michael Joseph, known for his sharp eye for character and storytelling.
Captured in the late 1960s, this image titled “Engine Overheating” combines theatrical expression, domestic absurdity, and an unmistakable sense of postwar humour.
Printed by the artist himself from the original negative, this authentic darkroom print bears all the charm of a true vintage photograph — the tonal depth, subtle surface texture, and presence that only analogue printing can produce.
