Frank Sutcliffe
Frank Sutcliffe was a photographer based in Whitby in the late 19th Century. Whitby is most well known for its key role in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its sailing history and Jet works. This is his most famous photograph, the Water Rats:
I have a copy of the Water Rats in my Water Closet. With 11 almost naked young boys there are no ‘winkles‘ showing. An outstanding achievement in tastefulness. Unfortunately the bum exposure did get Frank excommunicated from the local church for potentially corrupting girls. I was already irrevocably, severely, corrupted by the time I found this photograph.
