Arthur Steel
WELL HEELED Westminster Bridge, London 1973 limited edition photograph

1973

About the Item

About the work: Photographer Arthur Steel had just acquired a 19mm lens for his Leica flex SL9 and was keen to explore it’s ability to focus very close-up. Platform shoes were all the rage at the time and he was inspired to capture them on Westminster Bridge, London. He laid himself on the pavement to get this shot framing Queen Elizabeth Tower inside the arch of the shoe. Iconic and stylish. Westminster Bridge 1973 Other sizes are available of this fabulous iconic print. Contact us for information. Prints are titled, numbered, signed and carefully enfolded in acid free tissue paper and inserted into a rigid 4mm thick protective cardboard tube for delivery. PLEASE NOTE: this print comes unframed. The in situ framed image is for illustration purposes only. Certificate of Authenticity: Each print acquired from The Arthur Steel Archive is accompanied by an individually signed Certificate of Authenticity. ABOUT ARTHUR STEEL This photographer's archive of iconic images is nothing short of fabulous, and counts David Walliams as a collector. His most famous photograph is arguably of Diana and Charles's kiss on the balcony on their wedding day. He was one of just a handful of photographers who were on the 'royal rota' that day. Regarded as a highly respected editor and Fleet Street photographer, Arthur photographed a vast array of celebrities over the years. In his images one can see how at ease his subjects felt in his company, such as Eric Morecambe within his study, Elton John at home with his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, George Best surrounded by bubble bath or even the Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher in her bedroom applying make up. Now in his eighties, he oversees and authenticates the production of his extremely rare photographic limited edition prints from negatives only recently unearthed from his personal treasured archive.
