A tweed-clad gentleman golfer begins his swing in the heart of Westminster, under the stoic gaze of a London bobby. Around him: a red Harrods bus, a pastel-blue Morris Minor, amused onlookers — and Big Ben reigning in the background, an impassive witness to this improbable scene.
Created in the 1970s for an advertising campaign, this photograph by Michael Joseph blends British kitsch, urban burlesque, and the precise staging of a cinematic shoot. Framed by the Kodak Safety film border, it retains the charm of analogue photography and the freshness of a moment perfectly captured — a visual tribute to English eccentricity, delivered with control and wit.
