Photography — 1920-1933
St Giles-in-the-Fields
The church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields seen from St. Giles High Street. The church was designed by Henry Flitcroft and opened in 1733.
In these photographs, Reid aimed to record an extended walk through the cities of Westminster and London. He used a wooden whole-plate stand camera and a handcart and stepladder which allowed him to photograph from an elevated standpoint. By the time of his death in 1933, Reid had made over 700 photographs for the project, organised into albums. He wrote two manuscripts in rhyme called ‘The Route Ornate’ to accompany his images.
