  • The statue of Sir Thomas Guy stands outside the historical entrance of Guys hospital, on 9th June 2020, in London, England. Thomas Guy (1644 – 1724) was British bookseller, speculator and founder of Guy's Hospital, London whose links to the global slave trade is now a controversial aspect of this businessman by anti-slavery activists and more recently, Black Lives Matter protesters. His wealth came through shares in the South Sea Company whose main business was in the selling of slaves from Africa to the Spanish colonies. In 1720 he successfully sold his stock of the company for approx £400 million (at today's prices) and amassed a large fortune, opening the Guy's Hospital  in 1725 which today serves as one of  the capital's major NHS healthcare centres. In the aftermath of the George Floyd protests in the US and UK Black Lives Matter groups who are calling for the removal of statues and street names with links to the slave trade, Guy's and other statues of British slavery owners and profiteers, have become a focus of impassioned protest.

  • Exterior of the best preserved Grade 2 listed Bastle (a fortified 18th/19th century farmhouse) at Black Middens, on 28th September 2017, in Gatehouse, Northumberland, England. Bastel, bastle, or bastille houses are a type of construction found along the Anglo-Scottish border, in the areas formerly plagued by border Reivers. Typically, the bastle was 10-12 metres long by 5-6 metres wide with walls up to 1.6 metres thick. Some 400 tonnes of sandstone blocks were needed for construction with corner quoins (corner stones) weighing up to 300kg. Bastles would have been costly to build so afforded by only wealthy families fearing attack by cross-border bandits.

  • Detail of a shop window selling seaside holiday trinkets including different sizes of Golliwogs, on 14th July 2017, at Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The golliwog is a black fictional character from the late 19th century depicting a rag doll. It was reproduced by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a children's toy and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s. The doll has black skin, eyes rimmed in white, clown lips and frizzy hair and was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy. The image of the doll has become the subject of controversy as the Golliwog has been seen as a depiction of black people, accused along with pickaninnies, minstrels, mammy figures, and other caricatures as being racist. The golliwog has been described as "the least known of the major anti-Black caricatures in the United States.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, scales a giant boulder in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy has the stamina to get to the top and continue his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

Wearing his bathing costume, a young adventurer clambers over rocks in the Gross Enz river in Germany's Black Forest. The lad of 10 crouches to better balance himself, carefully placing his bare feet on the slippery rock's surface as he emerges from the chilly mountain water. It is high summer and we can see the boy backlit by the glare of strong sunlight in the background. The Gross Enz river rises in Enzklosterle in Baden-Württemberg and is an eventual  tributary of the Neckar. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss.

We see in the foreground, the dark-skinned young man with a short beard is writing with a pencil that has a rubber on the top but the man in the background is out of focus. It is an image of ethnic diversity, of a multicultural Britain with students living and working uninterrupted side-by-side. They are both concentrating on their work in  a generic office or classroom, perhaps entering an examination or performing a corporate test.

  • Detail of a shop window selling seaside holiday trinkets including different sizes of Golliwogs, on 14th July 2017, at Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The golliwog is a black fictional character from the late 19th century depicting a rag doll. It was reproduced by commercial and hobby toy-makers as a children's toy and had great popularity in the UK and Australia into the 1970s. The doll has black skin, eyes rimmed in white, clown lips and frizzy hair and was seen, along with the teddy bear, as a suitable soft toy for a young boy. The image of the doll has become the subject of controversy as the Golliwog has been seen as a depiction of black people, accused along with pickaninnies, minstrels, mammy figures, and other caricatures as being racist. The golliwog has been described as "the least known of the major anti-Black caricatures in the United States.

  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, clambers over rocks in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy stumbles over the terrain and continues his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.
