London's landmarks are seen with the life of the street around them in these prints by Thomas Donald McLeish, a photographer born in London in 1879 whose images appeared in illustrated publications. The material here was issued chiefly in 1926. On the Embankment he caught both a pavement artist at work and the Royal Air Force memorial, and other subjects include the London Stone in Cannon Street, St John's Gate at Clerkenwell, the buildings around St Paul's and Greenwich Observatory. A policeman, an artist or a glimpse through a city court gives each familiar building an immediate human setting.
