Photography — 1903-1910
Pont Street, S.W.
Pont Street near Knightsbridge. Many of the red brick houses with tall gables characteristic of this street were built in the 1870s. The style of building imitated Flemish 17th century houses and became known as ‘Pont Street Dutch’.
Christina Broom was a professional photographer who produced a series of London street views for sale as postcards. She later photographed the activities of the suffrage movement in London and is considered one of the earliest female press photographers.
