Can you help us find them?
As a result of
PSL's recent exhibition 'Strangely Familiar: Photographs of Leeds by
Eric Jaquier and Peter Mitchell from the 1960s to the present', we are
seeking people who appear in Eric Jaquier's photographs.
Eric
spent a year in Leeds in 1969, photographing mainly in Armley and
Burley, but also the city centre, whilst on his daily rounds as a
door-to-door salesman for Betterware. He captured many images of kids
and teenagers hanging out on the streets - playing football, eating
chips, going to the swimming baths with their mates and so on. A Swiss
TV producer is interested in making a documentary film about these
people, who will now be between approximately 45 - 60 years old, and
several of whom we've already been contacted by. But we want to find
more!
A dedicated website has now been launched where you can
view Eric's archives. Please help us out by forwarding on the web
address to any relevant contacts you may have. Here's the link:
