Photographs Part II. Darren Newbury, Editor 2013. Page:. Page illustrated: 161. Catalogue number: Notes: See also page 189 for notes and caption, as follows: This young man fits the description of the "skollie" cited in an earlier caption; however, as is typical of Heseltine's portraits, the image suggests greater complexity. The careful rendering of background detail means the viewer's attention alternates between foreground and background, between the individual and the space of the city.
