A scarce image of Hughes, I can find no other examples online and I believe it does not feature in any published work on Hughes. With Gerson's pencilled signature to lower right hand side of backing board, and the initials FBIPP (Fellow of the British Institute of Professional Photographers) and to left, London. The frame measures 39x32.5cm and the visible image is approx. 24x19.5cm.
