Englishmen yachtsman
How magnificent is this shot as a document of British working classes? Titled 'Two Englishmen yachtsman, unknown boy, David Young (I'm sure he appears elsewhere in another shot) and an unknown man'. This was taken by Hill & Adamson around the mid 1840s in Newhaven, as part of their quite hefty study on the folk of the Scottish fishing village and its people.
