Caption

Cannon Street and St Mary Aldermary Church, London, c1920s. The man standing on the street holding a poster is possibly a newspaper seller. Reid, an amateur photographer of independent means, began an ambitious project to record, in photographs and prose, an extended walk through the historic Cities of Westminster and London. By the time of his death in 1933 he had taken over 700 photographs, organised geographically into a series of albums, and had compiled two manuscript books, entitled "The Route Ornate", which served to annotate the photographic journey. The photographs are remarkable for their pictorial and technical quality.
