This print series is taken from PARIAH PRESS' title God's Fox featuring the work of Charles Gordon Montgomery.
Montgomery was ex-boilerman at Prestwich 'Mental' Hospital, with a hard-liver and the best British photographer you've never heard of. Coloured by wonder and laced with a sly but also affectionate humour, this is part personal portrait and part study of a particular time and attitude in British history.
"I liked art books as a kid but I always felt let down by the words that accompanied the images. I hope God's Fox redresses that bygone injustice," says author Austin Collings, who has been unearthing this marvellous and momentous archive of photographs for over five years, combing through lofts and bin bags.
