Bedford Lemere & Co., the London firm best known for its architectural commissions, recorded late Victorian and early twentieth-century buildings with photographic precision. Westminster Hall, Stafford House, Sandringham and the great private houses of Park Lane and Whitehall appear alongside Baring’s Bank, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade headquarters, the courts and a London County Council lodging house, with older churches and the courtyard of Barnard’s Inn among the newer institutions. The camera dwells on façades, entrances, staircases and the arrangement of principal rooms, inside as well as out.
