Philip Jones Griffiths Pant-y-Wean. Wales, UK. 1961
“This young boy, who Philip found taking a line-out (throw-in) atop this dilapidated piano, epitomizes the ambivalent Welsh love for both rugby and music. Pant-y-Wean,
(...) was once, in the 1930s, voted the most beautiful village in South Wales, but it has long since been obliterated by opencast mining. When Philip asked this boy what he was doing with this broken instrument, he replied, ‘My mother gave it to me to mend.’”
