Dark city: atmospheric photographs of London streets by night in the 1930s

[Jazzy]

This picture gallery features atmospheric images of London streets in the 1930s, before the Blitz, before the clean air act, before sodium lighting. It was a city of gloomy back streets lit by dim lamps, with forbidding alleys and the occasional welcoming light.



I find the pictures hauntingly beautiful.



What are your thoughts about these pictures?
