Byron sign – 1970 I ran this picture with a story in Tracks in the very early 1970s and it fitted the anti-authority ethos of that publication pretty well (not that too many of our readers understood Latin). Photo: Witzig

When I was searching through my old pictures to make an initial select for A Golden Age that Rizzoli published earlier this year, I came across a bunch of pictures that’d slipped from my mind or never been there in the first place. There were no wondrous discoveries unfortunately – more that I was reacquainted with pictures that’d been published some 40 years before, or noticed others that I hadn’t seen the significance of. That was pretty nice actually.
