This is the original and much referenced photograph of an early Banksy piece, taken by myself using an early digital camera, a Canon Digital IXUS 400, on June 19th 2004 at London South Bank.

This is the second version of Girl with Balloon that Banksy made, accompanied by a message reading ‘There Is Always Hope’, a key message of the work which is often omitted in copies. It is an iconic work and in 2017 Girl with Balloon was voted as one of Britain’s favourite artworks.

This photograph is often used to show Banksy's early art as there are very few original photographs of Girl with Balloon. This is your chance to own the once only NFT of this rare photograph of an early Banksy.

When Christie's recently auctioned one of Banksy's reproductions of this work, this is the photograph they used in their gallery and auction lot essay.
