Gorbals Boys (1948) - Silver Gelatin Fibre Print
(Photo by Bert Hardy/Getty Images Archive London)
Possibly Bert Hardy's most famous image.
Two boys in the Gorbals area of Glasgow.
The Gorbals tenements were built quickly and cheaply in the 1840s, providing housing for Glasgow's burgeoning population of industrial workers.
Conditions were appalling; overcrowding was standard and sewage and water facilities inadequate.
The tenements housed about 40,000 people with up to eight family members sharing a single room,
30 residents sharing a toilet and 40 sharing a tap.
By the time this photograph was taken 850 tenements had been demolished since 1920.
Redevelopment of the area began in the late 1950s and the tenements were replaced with a modern tower block complex in the sixties. Original Publication: Picture Post - 4499 - The Forgotten Gorbals - pub. 1948

His first assignment, at age 23, was to photograph Hungarian actor Sakall at the Mayfair Hotel.
Hardy freelanced for The Bicycle magazine, and bought his first small-format 35 mm Leica.
He signed on with the General Photographic Agency as a Leica photographer,
later founding his own freelance firm, Criterion.
General Photographic Agency General Photographic Agency a Fleet Street, London agency, sold photos at least between 1880-1950.
Picture Post and World War II In 1941,

Founded in 1938 and funded by publisher Edward Hulton, the magazine's first editor was Hungarian émigré Stefan Lorant (1901–97) assisted by Hopkinson, who took over as editor from 1940. The picture-centric, left-leaning and reasonably-priced publication was highly successful and circulation soon rose to over a million.
