Bill Brandt's life took him from Germany to Vienna and even Paris. However, Brandt's photography comes into its own when he moves to London. The majority of Brandt’s photographs are captured in or around the London area. Brandt even remarked “he adopted Brtain as his home and it became the subject of his greatest photographs” (“Bill Brandt Biography”). Brandt’s work started to reflect the day-to-day life of many people in Britain. While he would maintain some pictures of high-profile people, most of his work in London was on “commoners,” people of the middle and lower class. At Charlie Brown's Pub, Limehouse, 1945 does a great job at exhibiting the subjects that Brandt often looked for in his pictures. Both men appear to be fully clothed but aren’t wearing anything fancy or colorful. Even though the picture is in black and white, it’s obvious that the men are wearing muted-colored clothes which shows a bit of their middle-class standing. Charlie Brown’s Pub was well known for being a melting pot. As it was a tourist attraction, many people of varying classes and backgrounds made the pub a hot spot to meet others from different cultures. Brandt likely chose the location of the photograph because of its internationally recognized blend of culture.
