PHOTOGRAPH

A two-page scrapbook collage containing several collected colour and black-and-white photographs. The page combines close-up portrait photographs, live guitar images and a photograph showing two people together.


A small cutting carries the handwritten caption “Marc in France.”

One of the larger cuttings on the right carries the printed headline:


“The cats who taught him to boogie”

Two typed extracts containing verse are also pasted across the bottom of the pages, one credited “M. Bolan.” The scrapbook arrangement mixes photographs of different sizes and sources into a single handmade two-page display.
