Description

Three hundred and sixty one glass plate and film negatives from Julian Joseph Samuels Ltd showing a variety of London landmarks and street scenes. Many of the negatives are produced from prints of images in this series and in SAM01/01. Sites include Horse Guards, Westminster Bridge, Whitehall, Bank Junction and the Wellington Arch. War memorials such as the Cenotaph, the Imperial Camel Corps Memorial and the Royal Artillery Memorial are also included.

In addition there a number of images showing the General Strike of May 1926. These include images of both the strikers and of the army deployed on the streets and were taken for an unknown purpose.

Other images include views of London Zoo in the 1920s, victory parades following the end of the First World War, a small number of portraits and a selection of floodlit buildings at night.

Fifteen negatives are uncatalogued due to their content.
