| Administrative History | According to Alfred Marks, the Honorary Secretary, the Society for Photographing Relics of Old London was formed by friends wanting to record the Oxford Arms Inn which was under threat of demolition. The availability of the 'photographic views' was publicised through a letter to 'The Times' and as the project was well received, it was found practical to continue the series. In all, twelve issues were produced in annual issues from 1875 to 1886, comprising a total of 120 published photographs.
Photographs numbers 1-18 were printed by A. & J. Bool, Warwick Street Pimlico, S.W. Photographs 19-24 were printed by Henry Dixon, Albany St, from negatives taken by A. & J. Bool. Photographs 25-120 were photographed and printed by Henry Dixon. |
