London

As a capital city on and off since 100 CE, London in this portfolio is represented as an urban and rural (yet-to-be-urbanized), private and public, high and low space. The images here depict a city and its residents at work and at play in particular in the nineteenth century, as the Industrial Revolution and rapid urbanization made it into a metropolis. Some of these nineteenth century works express nostalgia for past landmarks and customs as the growing city rendered them obsolete. Others document quotidian scenes and residents, while others think with more anxiety over urbanization’s consequences for social norms and values. The images in this portfolio are primarily from this period, but not entirely. Seen all together or in smaller sub-groups, they can engage with the city’s history and landscape in snapshots as well as over time. They invite discussions of industrialization, labor, city life and planning, and other topics endemic of urbanization, urban spaces, and those spaces’ inhabitants.

This black and white stereoscopic image features two images showing the busy intersection of Piccadilly Circus in London. There are many horse-drawn carriages and wagons and pedestrians on the streets and walkways. It is surrounded by the text: Sample Set No. 1; C. H. Graves, Publisher and Gen’l Manager; 7505 Piccadilly Circus, London<br />
