Girl holding a cat on Southam Street, W10, by Roger Mayne, at the Museum of London. (There’s also a blog post with more London cats.)From Jessie Wender’s coverage of the exhibition of his works at the Gitterman Gallery, 2012:I told Mayne that I was struck by the prevalence of children in his work. “I was drawn to the poorer areas, and there the children were very much in evidence,” he said. “The street was their playground. They were keen to be photographed, and the first photograph had to be of them gawping, ‘Put our picture in the paper,’ before they went back to what they were doing.“
