This is a rare signed print Grace Robertson - one of the most significant, pioneering women photographers and photo journalists of the 20th Century who specialised in documenting the often overlooked lives of women - titled Pub Outing 1956.   The print features a beautifully composed photo of two woman having a lot of fun on an outing to a bar!  The work measures 33.2cm x 48cm while the image is 35.7cm x 48cm and is in excellent condition.

Grace Robertson OBE was born on 13th July 1930 in Manchester, the eldest daughter of Picture Post journalist and broadcaster, Fyfe Robertson.  Picture Post, founded in 1938 by Edward G. Hulton, was a weekly news publication that sought, through pioneering photojournalism to document life in pre-war, wartime and post-war Britain. 

Photojournalism at the time was considered an exclusively male discipline and yet when Robertson spoke to her father about her new-found ambition, his response, far from prohibitive, negative or derisory, was 'Right, you need a camera'. Not wanting to trade on her father's name, her first photographs were published in Picture Post under the pseudonym of Dick Muir but it was not long before she began using her own name and soon garnered much acclaim for her photography and life-long commitment to photographing women.  

Combining an anthropological approach with an amazing eye and technical skills, Grace Robertson said:  "I felt I was an observer of society. I never thought about my presence in it. My driving force in photographing women was to find out what made them tick."

At 6ft 2in Roberston was hardly inconspicuous, and yet her tactic was to spend time with her subjects, to become familiar and therefore unremarkable. 'I remember reading that Cartier-Bresson painted all the silver bits on his camera black and I thought, Well, that is ok for Cartier-Bresson. He's a tiny man. I thought then the only way it would work for me would be to be very prominent until people got it out of their system'.

Robertson was a true pioneer, conceiving of a number of stories considered contemporarily to be revolutionary. Her 1955 photographs of a woman giving birth, for example, were some of the first of their kind to be published (and indeed were nearly not published at all, having been rejected until Robertson's subject was 8 months pregnant).

Robertson has written and lectured extensively on the role of women in photography and in 1999 received an OBE in recognition of her services to photography, the same year in which she was awarded the Wingate Scholarship, which she used to fund her then current project Working Mothers in Contemporary Society. Robertson is the only British photographer to have featured in an exhibition at the National Photography Gallery, USA, celebrating the first women in photojournalism.
