The Austerity Games is an ongoing study of senior British Olympians, by photographer Joseph Turp. The portraits are a celebration of the 1948 London Olympics, and those who participated in them.The athletes were at the peak of their physical capabilities in 1948. Six decades on, their portraits reveal a different kind of physical magnificence. These elder statesmen of the games who competed in a post-war environment of scarcity are an inspiring and timely example for the 2012 Olympics and future games.
