PHOTOGRAPHS OF CHILDREN: 1865–2023
T he history of photography overflows with images of children and childhood. It is one of the most popular, maybe the most popular subject upon which the camera has focused its lens since the invention of the medium. ATLAS GALLERY has curated a special exhibition in aid of children, which includes some of the most wellknown and celebrated images of children by many of the most famous photographers of the last 150 years. At the heart of the exhibition are photographs from the personal collection of Atlas Gallery founders Julia and Ben Burdett, who have been collecting photos of children since the gallery opened in 1994. A percentage of the print price of the sale of each work from the sale of works in the exhibition will be donated to Save the Children, ranging from 10% to 100% of the total value of each work. THE VERY FIRST acquisition in the Burdett’s collection was a rare vintage print from the American modernist Paul Strand’s photo essay Tir a Mhurain, the seminal study of the islanders of The Outer Hebrides. The purchase led Julia, herself a professional children’s photographer, to track down and to contact the subject of the photo, Katy Morag Morrison, photographed by Strand at the age of eight, and by then living in Oban and running a B&B and to ask her about the experience of being photographed by one of the most famous photographers of the 20th century. She was not impressed! The nature of the relationship between photographer and subject, but also the role of the collector as a further collaborator in the process, has become the defining feature of all the works in the collection.
A PERCENTAGE OF THE SALE PRICE FOR EACH PRINT SOLD (VARYING BETWEEN 10% AND 100% FOR EACH PRINT) WILL BE DONATED TO SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND, A REGISTERED CHARITY IN ENGLAND AND WALES (2130890), SCOTLAND (SC039570) AND ISLE OF MAN (199). PLEASE SEE EXHIBITION CATALOGUE FOR DETAILS.

A CORNERSTONE of the exhibition is the seminal photo essay by Magnum Founder David Seymour, “Children of Europe”. This incredibly rare work of reportage photography, published in 1948 in the aftermath of the Second World War, with text written from the perspective of a child, was Seymour’s attempt to document the suffering and experience of the almost 13 million abandoned children in Europe after the War. Published by UNESCO it was also hugely influential in inspiring the growth and development of children’s charities all over the world. With tens of thousands of children currently displaced by the war in Ukraine, these images are as relevant today as they were 70 years ago. OTHER HIGHLIGHTS include rare works by Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Doisneau, Dorothea Lange, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Roger Mayne, Edward Steichen, modern masterpieces by Chris Killip, and Irving Penn, and a host of iconic images by almost 50 different photographers from all over the world. The exhibition will be enhanced with rare first editions and archive material by many of the photographers exhibited. WHEN ONE THINKS of photographs of children, one invariably thinks of pictures of smiling faces, games and innocence. Many of these works, shot in times of conflict, war, poverty and hardship are remarkable in that they depict scenes of undaunted children’s fun and games, which carry on despite surroundings of devastation, ruin or depravation. It is this ability to suspend the normal rules of the world which is at the heart of childhood itself, whether in war or peace. OBSERVATIONS OF CHILD’S PLAY in its simplest form, with cardboard boxes and street games in the classic street photography of Helen Levitt and Mario Giacomelli sit next to the colourful but deeply ironic works of Julia Fullerton Batten and Arthur Elgort. Lartigue’s works shot when he was barely ten years old and using his very first camera offer a unique child’s eye view of the world. The title of the exhibition plays on the old adage about children being a charming presence, preferably not heard and by extension with no voice and thus no right to representation or opinion. The aim of this exhibition is to highlight the need for children’s voices to be heard.

EVE ARNOLD The daughter of the house makes Irish soda bread, Aran Islands, Ireland, 1974 Eve Arnold (1912 – 2012) began photographing in 1946, while working at a photo-finishing plant in New York City. She then studied photography with Alexei Brodovitch at the New School for Social Research in New York. Being the first female photographer to join Magnum Photos, Arnold became a full member in 1957, after which she soon relocated to the UK where she spent the rest of her life. Eve Arnold’s iconic images document the second half of the twentieth century with compassion for her subjects and a strong sense of social justice. Motivated by her insatiable curiosity, Arnold sought to capture the story behind the story, photograph the person behind the persona. Actors, Civil rights activists and politicians all got the same treatment behind her lens. “If a photographer cares about the people before the lens and is compassionate, much is given. It is the photographer, not the camera, that is the instrument”.

JACQUES HENRI LARTIGUE Dans ma chambre, collection de mes autos de course, 1905 Jacques Lartigue (1894–1986) was introduced to photography as early as the year 1900 by his father, Henri Lartigue, who gave him his first camera in 1902, when Jacques was eight years old. From then on, Jacques recorded incessantly the world of his childhood, from automobile outings and family holidays to inventions by his older brother. Born into a prosperous family, the two brothers were fascinated by cars, aviation and sports currently in vogue; Jacques used his camera to document them all. He took this image when he was only 11 years old.

HELEN LEVITT New York [child fleeing fire hydrant spray], 1939 American photographer and cine- matographer, Helen Levitt (1913– 2009) was one of the most influ- ential street photographers of the 20th Century. Levitt spent decades documenting local communities in her native New York, capturing everyday city life in neighbourhoods such as the Lower East Side, Bronx and Spanish Harlem. Working from the 1930s through the 1990s, Levitt produced an extensive body of work consisting of a variety of projects and mediums. Inspired by a meeting with Henri Cartier- Bresson, she began to unobtrusively document the residents of her local neighbourhoods with a 35-mm Leica camera, rendering everyday scenes into a theatrical spectacle. Strongly influenced by surrealism and silent film, Levitt also explored the uncanny elements of the everyday, often capturing people in strange poses alongside surreal juxtapositions of people, places and things.

ROGER MAYNE Young London
Self-taught, Roger Mayne (British, 1929–2014) was passionate about photographing what he knew—most famously, inner London. His skill in absorbing the radicalism of post-second world war “humanitarian photography” and interpreting it with artistic vision established him as one of the 20th century’s leading photographers. His photographs of west London street scenes in the 1950s captured members of the first generation to be identified as “teenagers”. The W10 series, shot mainly around Paddington, contrasted young people’s exuberance with the urban dereliction they inhabited. For five years from 1956, Mayne focused obsessively on Southam Street, later to be demolished as part of a slum clearance programme. The street takes on a life of its own through its young residents: there is a kind of innocence in the scruffy juveniles fighting with wooden swords or tipping each other out of broken prams. It is hard to relate these youngsters, boys in shorts and unlaced leather shoes, girls with school-uniform gingham frocks and kirby grips pinning back their hair, to subsequent generations of teenagers.

LEE-ANN OLWAGE From the series Right to Play, 2022
The Right To Play creates a playful world where girls are shown in an empowered and affirming way. Worldwide, 129 million girls are out of school and only 49 percent of countries have achieved gender parity in primary education with the gap widening at secondary school level. Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms, and practices, poor infrastructure and violence. For this project, Lee-Ann Olwage has worked with school girls from Kakenya's Dream, Kenya, to show what the world could look like when girls are given the opportunity to continue learning in an environment that supports them and their dreams. Kakenya’s Dream is a nonprofit organization that leverages education to empower girls, end harmful traditional practices including female genital mutilation (FGM) and child marriage, and transform communities in rural Kenya. Their goal is to invest in girls from rural communities through educational, health, and leadership initiatives to create agents of change and to create a world where African women and girls are valued and respected as leaders and equal in every way. The photographer behind these beautiful, affirmative images, Lee-Ann Olwage (South-African, b. 1986) won the first price in the Sony World Photography Awards, Creative Category in 2023.

MIRELLA RICCIARDI Gabra Girl, Kenya, 1968
Born in Kenya, then still a colony of British East Africa, to an Italian father and a French mother, Mirella Ricciardi grew up on the shores of Lake Naivasha in a household that was both sophisticated and wild. She was married at twenty-five to the Italian adventurer Lorenzo Ricciardi, who swept her off her feet and hired her as the photographer on the film he was making in Kenya. Mirella’s first book, Vanishing Africa , was published in 1971. An international bestseller, it made her reputation; one reviewer wrote that it was ‘a masterpiece of photographic excellence’. Mirella Ricciardi’s African pictures have the integrity of spontaneous intuitive documents born from the deep love of someone who knew and understood the subject. There is nothing voyeuristic here, no sense of exploitation of the exotic, rather that of tender familial engagement, together with a considerable respect for the inherent nobility of what was in front of her lens.

DAVID SEYMOUR Elefteria with Her New Pair of Shoes, 1949
David Seymour’s photographs bring our focus to the children affected in the aftermath of the Second World War and document their attempts to regain their childhood. Driving through five European countries – Austria, Greece, Italy, Hungary and Poland – Seymour (Polish, 1911–1956) encountered children who had suffered severe mental and physical trauma. A refugee of both world wars, Seymour could relate on a personal level to the harsh realities of the individuals he was photographing and this sentiment undoubtedly resounded with him. In this image, Elefteria receives her first pair of new shoes donated by UNICEF. Elefteria was the only child not evacuated from her remote village during the ravages of the civil war. Seymour wrote: “For a long time four-year old Elefteria just stared at the new shoes. Finally, her grandmother was allowed to put them on her feet. Then the ice was broken. Elefteria ran through the village, laughing with delight. Her happiness was absolutely perfect.”
