Gift Eric and Louise Franck London Collection 2017
<p>This group of anonymous prints (P14914, P14915, P14881– P14891) demonstrates the approach to collecting adopted by Eric and Louise Franck in their pursuit of photographs of the capital. While the Eric and Louise Franck London Collection contains work by some of the most celebrated photographers of the twentieth century, it also contains work by anonymous figures who captured London’s architecture, its streets and its people. The subject matter depicted in this group of images includes Westminster Abbey, the Palace of Westminster, the Annual Brass Band Contest at Crystal Palace and a man running naked through Trafalgar Square.</p>
