As I.C. Rapoport, the photographer says, 'Coal and children. That's what it boiled down to.'
Product Description
"In New York I watched news report after news report from Aberfan, wiht my 4 month-old son lying nearby, and was deeply affected by the tragedy. I had an overwhelming desire to photograph that Welsh mining village - after the first horde of journalists had finally given up the story of the disaster - to photograph the life that ensued." I.C Rapoport's sensitive photographs are beautifully judged, high-quality images: they do not shock but seek to suggest lives beyond their representations. The figures they commemorate are allowed the dignity of being people rather than victims. Published in association with the National Library of Wales.
