I really like this old picture and would like to buy a poster or print, but I've scrolled through lots of poster sites and can't find it. Any suggestions?

There's an email and contact number under that photo.
Did you try the phone number or email address below?

The gallery is closed and I won't be contacting them anyway because to buy from them would probably cost an arm and a leg. Looking for somewhere where I could get a copy on a print or poster that won't need me to take out a loan.

''or a print'
The image may be protected to a point, Shirley was a well respected and prolific photographer in and around Salford.

There's a FB page called "Growing up in U.K. in the 50s/60s" and someone put this photo up very recently. Will see if I can find it again - might have some info on it.

Mamya I love the photographs by Shirley Baker that she took in the Hulme area of Manchester which is near to where I grew up. Her photo's remind me of my young self and as there was a lamppost like this right outside our house, I spent many a happy hour doing this.
Do you think the only way to buy a print would be expensive or are there companies that can reproduce as cheaper posters/prints?
Question Author
maggie, that's where I saw it.
I suspect that you'll get stung for an arm and a leg to get hold of a print (in any form) of that picture but it's Shirley Baker's daughter, Nan Levy, who holds the rights, so why not contact her directly?

you could download the picture and have it printed poster size maybe.
The Photographers Gallery is a registered charity, so I'm sure they are entitled to possibly exclusive rights to the reproduction of it as a print.
If I were the photographer...or held the rights...I'd be pretty peed off if someone did that fender.
I'd also love to own some of her work, may try to find out prices too.
Barsel, how strange!
I have this print in a Shirley Baker book sitting in front of me. The book is called ... Shirley Baker Without a trace .. Manchester and Salford in the 1960s.I bought my copy from Waterstones for 20.00
Question Author
Thanks Chris, I found that earlier and emailed her daughter. Mamya if you ever find the prices, can you let me know please?
Could I do as fender suggests? I have the picture saved and could put it on a USB stick then take it to get a large print or poster, but where do they do that?
Question Author
eleanor2 I saw that book while I've been searching on either Amazon or ebay for about £13.99 now, so I'm seriously thinking of getting that, in fact, I'm going to order it right now.
Its wonderful photography, you wont be dissapointed x
No Barsel , check out the copyright before having it printed ,
