Gladys, Albert And Cat

There is, of course, a famous 1971 Hockney painting entitled “Mr and Mrs Clark and Percy”. My photograph predates that by a good 35 years and is entitled “Mr and Mrs Burnett and Cat”. The two main subjects are my parents, and the photo was probably taken in Bradford in about 1936. Coincidentally, Hockney was born only a few streets away from this location and just a year after the photo was taken.
