Old Compton Street, north side. London 1950.
On the wet pavement of London's Old Compton Street in 1950, a man in a dark overcoat leans against a lamppost, looking upward with a thoughtful expression. His central position divides two storefronts on the north side of the street: Oni & Son, tobacconists, where a queue of men waits, and Del Monico, where several women gather in the doorway. A vintage car and a motorcycle parked at the curb complete this candid snapshot of everyday city life after a recent rain.
