Boot-boys are 'Big Picture' in the Observer.
The Observer's Big Picture (Sunday 12 August 2018). In celebrating the forthcoming group photography show Distinctly Britain — at the Pingyao International Photography Festival, China — Sean O'Hagan features Meadows's 'Boot-boys' picture from the Free Photographic Omnibus, Barrow-in-Furness (1974).
Distinctly Britain, curated by Tracy Marshall, features 150 photographs by twelve artists who have been making work in Britain over the last five decades. Daniel Meadows is represented with a dozen of his National Portraits: Now & Then photographs.

Digital Story. 1991. I Photograph to Remember. First published as an interactive CD-ROM, this intensely moving story about Meyer's parents in old age is now available for iPod download from his ZoneZero website. I first saw it at Impressions Gallery, York, in the summer of 1994. Aside from its length (35 minutes) it is, in every other respect, a "Digital Story", just like the Capture Wales stories we started making in 2001.
