Curtis Moffat: Bright Young Things; Experimental Photography and Design, 1923-1935

"A gentle, quiet, easy-going man with velvet eyes and enormous charm, Curtis Moffat was the most Europeanised of Americans. He seemed to be only 'at home' in the quietness of his book-filled rooms. But appearances are deceptive; in fact he was the centre of enormous creative activity. " Cecil Beaton ...

Extraordinary Pictures of ‘Hippiedilly’ on Hyde Park Corner in 1969

Extraordinary Pictures of ‘Hippiedilly’ on Hyde Park Corner in 1969

Drug taking, couples making love while others look on, a heavy mob armed with iron bars, filth and stench, foul language, that is the scene inside the hippies’ fortress in London’s Piccadilly.
