Introducing the Punjab to the Potteries callout for South Asian writers by Appetite and New Vic Theatre is a black-and-white photograph of Baldev Bansal, dated 1964. He is a young man, perhaps in his early twenties, of South Asian descent. Baldev stands in the ginnel or alleyway running between the backs of rows of terraced houses. He is looking directly towards the camera and is dressed very smartly with a shirt and tie and striped pullover. In his right arm he cradles a small, sleeping baby in a bonnet. A short distance behind them, a young, white-skinned boy of around 7 years of age and dressed in what looks to be a football strip, looks on.
