EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Charlie Ley, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Islington, London in May 1961. The image captures a poignant moment outside A E Fane and Co betting shop, where a woman punter stands engrossed in studying the form guide. With her baby daughter patiently waiting in her buggy beside her, it is evident that even amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, motherhood remains at the forefront of her mind. The scene exudes a sense of timeless charm as we witness this devoted mother balancing two worlds - one filled with excitement and anticipation for potential winnings, while simultaneously ensuring the comfort and safety of her precious child. As she carefully analyzes each detail on the form guide, one can only imagine the thrill coursing through her veins as she contemplates placing a bet. This photograph beautifully encapsulates an era when betting shops were not just places for gambling enthusiasts but also served as social hubs where people from all walks of life would gather to engage in friendly banter or share tips. It symbolizes both tradition and progress; a snapshot frozen in time that reminds us how our daily routines have evolved over generations yet some aspects remain constant – like mothers' unwavering love for their children. Charlie Ley's skillful composition allows us to delve into this intimate moment between mother and child while simultaneously capturing the essence of bustling city life during an era defined by its unique blend of innocence and adventure.
