EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from April 1971, we are transported back to a simpler time when advertising was filled with whimsy and charm. The image features the enigmatic figure of Peter Greenwood, known as the "Barefoot City Gent" standing on a bustling railway platform. What makes this scene truly remarkable is that Mr. Greenwood is completely shoeless, drawing attention to his unusual choice of footwear - or lack thereof. Dressed in impeccable clothing including a dapper bowler hat and holding an elegant umbrella adorned with a buttonhole flower, our protagonist exudes an air of sophistication amidst the everyday hustle and bustle. With his eyes fixed on the newspaper he holds in one hand, it's evident that Mr. Greenwood is deeply engrossed in its contents. This photograph captures not only the fashion trends prevalent during the 1970s but also showcases a clever sense of humor through its unconventional subject matter. It leaves us wondering about the story behind this peculiar advertisement for Walt Disney's latest creation: The Barefoot Executive. As we gaze upon this intriguing snapshot frozen in time by an unknown photographer, we can't help but be reminded of how advertising has evolved over decades while still retaining elements of playfulness and creativity. This vintage print takes us on a delightful journey down Memory Lane, reminding us that even in times gone by, imagination knew no bounds when it came to capturing our attention and sparking curiosity within us all.
