A speaker addresses the crowd at Speaker’s Corner in Hyde Park, London, in 1971, standing above his audience with a hand-lettered placard calling for change to the debt system. The scene captures the place exactly as it was meant to function: a patch of open ground where politics, economics, religion and personal conviction were all argued in public before anyone willing to stop and listen. The men gathered around him in raincoats, suits and spectacles give the photograph a distinctly early-1970s feel, while the blurred heads in the foreground help convey the closeness and immediacy of the crowd. It is a strong, intimate view of Speaker’s Corner as a living forum for dissent and debate rather than merely a London curiosity.
