Interior of St. Dunstan's

A stained glass window in the interior of the church of St. Dunstan's in the West in Fleet Street. Various men are portrayed in the window, including the poet John Donne who was rector of the church, Henry Wotton and Richard Hooker.
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.
