EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "G. B. H - Great British Humour and the Liverpool laughter scene". Taken on 1st July 1985, it showcases the legendary comedian Ken Dodd at the heart of Liverpool, standing beside the iconic Lewiss nude statue. In this snapshot from the 1980s, we witness a resurgent Liverpool, bustling with shops and shopping enthusiasts. The city's vibrant atmosphere perfectly complements Dodd's infectious energy as he holds his signature tickle stick and feather duster. Known for his witty one-liners and unique comedic style, Dodd was not only an actor but also a renowned singer. The juxtaposition of Dodd's animated presence against Jacob Epstein's timeless sculpture creates a fascinating visual contrast. It symbolizes how humor can bring life to even the most serious art forms while showcasing Liverpool as a hub for both artistic expression and laughter. Photographer Peter Stone beautifully encapsulates this moment in history when Great British Humour thrived amidst Liverpool's cultural renaissance. This print is not just a nostalgic reminder of an era gone by; it serves as a testament to Ken Dodd's enduring legacy as one of Britain's greatest comedians. Whether you're an admirer of comedy or simply appreciate capturing slices of history through photography, this image transports you back to an era where laughter echoed through every corner of Liverpool.
