dbo:abstract
  • Society for Photographing Relics of Old London wurde 1875 in London gegründet. Ihr Ziel war es, das alte London fotografisch zu dokumentieren. Die Society for Photographing Relics of Old London (SPROL) wurde im Jahre 1875 von einem Londoner Freundeskreis ins Leben gerufen. Unter der Leitung von Alfred Marks, sollten die Oxford Arms in der Nähe der St Paul’s Cathedral dem Vergessen entrissen werden. Als die Existenz der fotografischen Serie der Oxford Arms, die von Alfred & John Bool angefertigt wurde, in einem Brief an Die Times bekannt gemacht wurde, hatte dies eine so positive Resonanz, dass zwölf Jahre lang zwölf Serien über die alte Architektur Londons, bestehend aus insgesamt 120 im Pigmentdruckverfahren hergestellten fotografischen Abbildungen, in Auftrag gegeben wurden. Die komplette Serie befindet sich heute in der Sammlung der Royal Academy of Arts, wo 2010 einige ausgewählte Abbildungen gezeigt wurden. Anfangs von Alfred & John Bool ausgeführt, übernahmen Henry Dixon und sein Sohn Thomas James Dixon später die fotografische Ausführung der Serie. (de)

Alfred & John Bool took the photographs, and when the project was announced in a letter to The Times, the news received such a positive response that the society's work was continued, with a total of twelve issues being produced over twelve years, containing a total of 120 photographs. The photographs were commissioned to preserve an architectural record of buildings, some of which were built before the Great Fire of London in 1666, and which were scheduled for demolition as part of the city's urban redevelopment measures at the end of the 19th century. It was important to choose a photographic technique that would last for generations. In 1870, the pigment printing process was invented. Society member Henry Dixon mastered the process, and the photographic images are still of excellent technical quality today. The group continued to document the old buildings of London threatened with demolition until its dissolution in 1886. (en)
