COLLECTION OF PHOTOS OF 1880s LONDON
Collection of sixteen vintage images from the 1880s and 1890s
(London 12.jpg up to London 23.jpg and London 9.jpg, London 27.jpg, 28.jpg and 29.jpg), including large format images of Windsor Castle and the carriage entrance at St James's where Albert Victor kept his carriage which Gull used as well. Also 1 cabinet photo of Windsor (London 10.jpg), a carte de visite of Westminster Abbey (London 8.jpg) and ten later printings (probably the early to middle of the last century) of early images of London (from the late nineteenth century), (London 1.jpg to London 7.jpg, London 11.jpg, London 24.jpg and London 25.jpg). The images show scenes in various parts of London. Particularly interesting are the two images of St James's because of their connection with Albert Victor and Gull and there is an image of the Burlington Restaurant with the name Blanchard about the door, which was one of Gull's favourite haunts. Other images show The Royal Exchange, Regent Street, the Hotel Metropole, The Treasury, Whitehall, the New Foreign Office, the Post Office, Greenwich Hospital, Westminster Bridge, Windsor Castle, Holburn Viaduct, Buckingham Palace and the Albert Memorial. I would have to negotiate a price for these photos if you were interested, and I am sure I could get a much better deal if you took them all. Thre are a total of 28 pieces and the original 1880's one are really hard to get, particularly the large format. They are a very evocative lot.
