This photograph was included in Paul Hill's first solo exhibition which took place at the Wolverhampton Museum of Art in 1971. This was the first time that a photographer was given a solo show by the Museum. This photograph was used for the exhibition poster which was produced as a silkscreen print at the local art school.

A version of this exhibition was then shown in London at the newly established Photographers' Gallery where it was one of their very first solo shows.

For the exhibition in Wolverhampton there was no budget for framing, so stock frames of aluminium and perspex (acrylic) were used. These were so large that two photographs were put into each frame. This meant that when the works were shown at the Phortographers' Gallery there were no exisiting frames. Again there was no framing budget so this time the photographs were presented without frames, sandwiched behind sheets of glass, which were secured with clips and screwed into the darkly painted walls.
