Dick’s Book of Photos is revealed as a document of British social history in the mid to late 1930s – a time of heatwave summers, the growing tension of a war with Germany that seemed inevitable, naturism, sunbathing, quintessential British landscape transmuted through the lens of the new technology of the Leica, the influence of European surrealist art, and popular visual culture in the form of cinema and magazines.

Drawing extensively on unpublished material from Vaughan’s manuscript journals (Tate Archive TGA 200817), Pierse explores how the artist used the lens as a surrogate way of ‘touching’ the young male subjects that he photographed.
