KINGS ROAD c.1893

Copy of a stereoscopic photograph of 1893, and unusual in the sense that it was taken by an American photographer from Philadelphia. Taken from just east of West Street, it captures the late Victorian atmosphere, with the central figure holding up her bustle skirt to keep it clear of the filth with which the roadway was bestrewn at this period.
