Photography — 1920-1933
Interior of St. Clement Danes
The interior of St. Clement Danes in the Strand looking towards the east window and the altar. The church was rebuilt in 1681 by Christopher Wren.
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.
