'Shortly before 1930, a privately published book of photographs and poems made its appearance, apparently in New York. Entitled 'Lads O' the Sun: Memories', the book was highly unusual both in format and content. ... Since 1970 a chain of circumstantial evidence has led to the identification of an American, Dr. Edward Mark Slocum, as the author, photographer and publisher of 'Lads O' the Sun'.' Or the 'Lads' produced a book about its meaning, authorship and meaning, details of the author's life were uncovered, and worked into a biography. Includes a selection of reproductions from 'Lads', together with similar, contemporary images to set the context in which 'Lads' was produced.
